sorry to hear that Tessaruth, Horsfields are usually bit piggy so I would be a bit wary. I don't think you said if he was indoors / outside. If outside just make sure you aren't doing too many baths. Horsfields hate the damp so good drainage and hot sunny spot , equally if indoors don't have the heat too high. Mine have always been outdoors torts and I have never bathed Horsfields prior to hibernation or after hibernation, they don't have heat either. You would be surprised how hot the greenhouse gets and they retain their heat in their shells. However, I do keep an eye open and if cold weather does kick in, especially with rain I do make sure they are all ok and the two little ones would come inside, particularly overnight. is he outside ? and what substrate do you have?

weigh him and keep a check for now, CB
