MORNING ALL, I THOUGHT I WOULD TELL YOU ABOUT MY NEW HIBERNATION HOTEL FOR THE TORTIES..WONDERFUL HUBBY HAS INSULATED A 10/8 FOOT SHED,IT HAS ELECTRIC AND A NEW VERY SAFE DOOR ETC.HE FITTED IT OUT WITH SHELVES ALONG ONE SIDE AND NOW I HAVE DEEP BOXES WITH HAY READY FOR ANY THAT I DECIDE TO PUT IN THERE.NOW, AS YOU ALL KNOW I STRONGLY ADVOCATE NATURAL HIBERNATION AND I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY VIEWS BUT AS SOME OF THE DONATED TORTOISES WERE HIBERNATED IN BOXES IN SHEDS ETC I AM GOING TO LET THEM GO TO SLEEP OUTSIDE AS NORMAL THEN LIFT THEM ONCE IN A DEEP SLEEP AND PLACE THEM IN ONE OF THE NUMBERED BOXES. I HAVE A BOOK  THAT IS ALSO NUMBERED SO THAT I WILL KNOW WHO IS IN WHAT BOX! BRILLIANT I KNOW !   I AM DOING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE TO RESPECT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS AND OBVIOUSLY I WANT TO DO THE BEST I CAN FOR EACH AND EVERY  TORTOISE. THEN, IF  ANY DO PASS AWAY (I HATE EVEN WRITING IT DOWN !)  I WILL KNOW I DID EVERY THING RIGHT BY THE TORTOISE. I AM ALSO GOING TO PUT GERTIE IN THERE THIS WINTER BECAUSE I AM STILL SO AMAZED BY HER BABIES I THINK SHE NEEDS THE BEST REST POSSIBLE.SO,ALL IS NOW READY..
