Here is Khalid’s tummy. He has a funny growth but it’s not changed since hybernation.

Re: What to do when they wake up

Tortoises are amazing climbers (which is why you need to make any outdoor enclosure escape proof). Although it looks like their bodies are not designed for climbing, here are a couple of photos of what they are capable of if given half a chance.

Re: What to do when they wake up

The big one is named after a singer called Kahlid and the other one was Came which is Japanese for Tortoise but I call him Herman because it suits him. The big one tends to bully the little one and bites him occasionally. I will keep an eye on him.

Re: What to do when they wake up

We did weigh them before but I was afraid to weigh them during incase they woke up. I have checked them twice a day throughout their sleep. I'm going to try to attatch a picture from last summer ... please forgive me, I was told they like strawberries for a treat. :shock: [attachment=0]turttles.jpeg...

Re: What to do when they wake up

Thank you so much. I am so glad I found you ... I have tried to find out this stuff online but you have gone above and beyond anything else I’ve found. I really appreciate it. We are going to get them out tomorrow when we are both here so I will try to work out how to send a photo.

Re: What to do when they wake up

We were given them last year from someone who had them outside all the time but were not able to keep them. I think they are Hermans.

Re: What to do when they wake up

Please can I ask you what do you recommend using for them to sleep in? Last summer we used straw when they were outside but in the fridge it’s just a grey substrate. What do you think is best?
