well without being funny I can,t see any tyre marks on any of the garden it looks a big area and the sun is shinning on it in the photos, at some point you will have to get your tort outside its the best place for it and it will grow theres nothing you can do about that, its an animal intended to be outside and thats where they do best, its not going to need a vast area and its not going to need the whole of the shed just a small area with an entrance to the outside, where are you intending hibernating it if not in the fridge then it will have to go in one of the sheds , you then have to have a relatively undisturbed place for it you can,t go starting up motorbikes etc in the shed where its asleep, unless you have a breed that doesn,t need hibernating then thats a problem thats going to come up on you pretty quick, and depending on the age it will be hibernating for two months or more.

tyre marks are because its been wet laitly and if i ride them the garden gets shreded, ile ad a couple of pics of them in a mo :P

and it said in a book i got when i first got it that hermans didnt need to hibernate unless you were breeding them??? is this corect? because she has never hibernated

Pussygalore · 16-08-2007, 03:04 PM

there are only a few torts that don,t hibernate i,e the tropical ones your hermans does and needs to, in the natural state it would hibernate the 1st year of hatching its a vital part of their care etc there is lots of information on this forum about it.

midi-mania · 16-08-2007, 03:11 PM

oh,

well... when do i need to start starving it? ile put it in the fridge (with a thermometer) when i need to hibernate it, my aunts friend (got a tort from the same place as mine), well her tort isnt as big as this one and it hibernates on its own in there vivarium

brb getting foood and checking on tort, back

Pussygalore · 16-08-2007, 03:42 PM

Do you have any pictures of your tort I,m sure we,d love to see them, bikes look nice not that I know anything about bikes, theres plenty of info about hibernating but no need to worry for a couple of months but you could do some reading up on the subject the more prepared the better, plus your fridge need to be running for a while to check the temperature variations, with things in it, door opening etc.
