Hi Paul
Merry Christmas to you! Thank you for your reply I was starting to doubt putting him back down as he was quite awake. He hadn't lost any weight whilst being asleep for 3 weeks.
He is in tip top condition and I weigh them weekly and carefully check them without waking.
Would you say the reason why healthy torties die is that their weight is not carefully monitored during hibernation? Of course there is the obvious, freezing and rodents.
