Hi there, I have a Hermmans tortoise about 9 years old, he is 16cm long and weighs 582 grams, according to the jacksons graph he is underweight, but I have read other forums and people say that seems about right.
I starved him for 4 weeks as advised and now he really wants to hibernate but I'm not sure if I should let him due to possibly being underweight, any advice?

Thanks
