For over 45 years our (2) Pet Tortoises hibernate during the winter. Around this time of the year, it is time to check they are OK, so Tuesday afternoon, with some nice warming sunshine, the (2) boxes were take from the garage and placed outside.
An hour or so later, on opening the boxes, the Male (Timmy) was sitting on top waiting to come out. The Femail (Suntan) has more sense and would rather carry on sleeping.
But Tortoises must not be left to over hiberate.
Now snug inside their run within the utility room with Infra-Red heating to get them going… hopefully for another year.
