Alarm bells were ringing when they said had woken up, then I saw what species they were?!

I'm sure ive read on here that someone has hibernated a leopard before with no problems.

if meds lived in the same area as leos & sullys (and other non meds) they wouldnt hibernate.

im sure lots of sullys & leopards have hibernated in gardens/sheds & garages before and have survived!

hmm they are not really hibernating types though. It could be a lie but it could be they don't know what torts they are

You can't believe everything on pre loved, although dodgy, the species will be capable of estivation in low temp's. African's in part's hit the burrow's and estivate for cooler/hot weather. It is possible to slow them down like hibernation for a couple of month's in captivity temp around 10c, 50f i believe. But never tried it. I think all Tortoises are capable of estivation.

[QUOTE=16 shells;515424]You can't believe everything on pre loved,

I agree with you there!!

You would think it might make them ill though, surely? wouldnt exposing them to those sort of temps would bring on rns or make them ill, leopards especially?

Could do especially here.
