WAKING UP

HI ALL, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST BLOG BUT WITH THE WINTER AND THE TORTOISES ASLEEP THERE REALLY HASN'T BEEN MUCH TO SAY. I HAVE THOUGH  RECEIVED ALOT OF EMAILS AND CALLS ABOUT OWNERS TORTOISES WAKING UP EARLY. I HAVE ALSO HAD 11 OF MINE WAKE UP DURING THE WARM DAYS WE HAD RECENTLY BUT HAVE NOT REALLY MOVED SINCE.I BATHED THEM AND THEN PUT THEM INTO THEIR OUTHOUSES IN FRESH HAY. I DO OPEN THE DOORS EVERY DAY FOR FRESH AIR AND IT IS NICE FOR THE SUNS RAYS TO GET INTO THE HOUSE,IT LETS THEM KNOW SPRING IS ALMOST HERE! ALSO, PLEASE DON'T WORRY IF ONE WAKES UP AND THE OTHER DOES NOT ;JUST BATH THE ONE WHO HAS WOKEN UP FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO MAKE SURE HE/SHE GETS A GOOD DRINK .DRY WELL AND THEN PLACE BACK INTO THE HOUSE IN NICE FRESH DRY HAY. IF YOU GET A COLD BUT SUNNY DAY STILL PEN THE DOOR.ALSO ONCE AWAKE  PLEASE DON'T EXPECT THEM TO EAT STRAIGHT AWAY SOMETIMES THEY WON'T EAT FOR A WEEK OR SO.THAT IS WHY IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO BATH THEM SO THEY CAN  HAVE A GOOD DRINK.PLEASE  LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS....
