I know how you feel, though Joe isn't hibernating. Mercifully he's piling on weight and I can't wait to get him back into his normal habitat in warm(er ) weather

I checked my bigger ones Sunday & was surprised by how big they seem compared to my tinies who are mainly still up. Big ones have been asleep for 2 & 3 weeks now, I was also surprised how dark Sids shell was compared to my hermans, its funny how quick you forget!

This is my 2nd hibernation, and though I know what to do, I still find myself panicking While they are blissfully asleep though, I do still have the 2 Stars, 6 Tunisians and Delilah Ibera up to keep me busy though

Wow, lucky you having all those torts.. I'm jealous
My 2 aren't hibernating but I do find that they are not so wide awake .. they are eating fine so I guess I shouldn't worry!
This winter for me is already dragging even though it has barely started.. I don't mind calm cold crisp days but all this bitter cold wind and rain is hell... and to top it all I am toilet training my new Whippet pup so I am getting blasted with the freezing winds every hour or so!

You will have to invest in some thermals!
