Thank you everyone for your thoughts and advice.

I like the idea of hibernating my tort for a short period of time, I hadn't thought of that.

Sandy, I would love to hear more about your greenhouse hibernation. Do you have a box/tub of soil they dig in to? Or are they digging straight into the ground within the greenhouse?

I have a greenhouse, however it is missing a few panes at the moment, so have to get that sorted ASAP. I am currently planning and starting to build my outdoor enclosure for Hettie and she will move from her tort table and outside in to the big wide world, in the spring. Do you have any pictures of your set up? I would love to see their homes, as I want to go down the natural route.
