Tortoises hybernate in the winter. They go 'underground' if they have built a tunnel system like Zoop has. For many years he used to come in the house and hybernate in my bedroom under my dresser. Then one summer he built a den for himself in the side yard.HorseCrazy said:
He goes into hybernation sometime in late Aug, early Sept. and we don't see him again until early March usually. When ever the night temperatures are in high 50's most nights. He is a pretty reliable source for when Winter is over.
