vivp · 09-07-2006, 03:54 PM

my mum went to breeder yesterday to look at some tortoise, she came back with 2 and got me 1, the tort is really big compared to the other two have even thought they where both born last year.
The breeder didnt recommend hibernating the tort till it was 3 years old.

Lol seems a lot of breeders recomend non hibernation until 3. But this is so untrue.
Mine hibernate from their first year, provided they are healthy and med torts.
As Darren says, any chance of pictures of your torts please?
