My Russian Tortise seems to have gone into hibernation already. He went down on Halloween. A couple of cold days with no sun and it was adios. Last winter, the first we had him, he went down for about 70 to 75 days. My problem is that we are planning to go to Disney Land and then visit relatives in California for Christmas, and won't return for about 65 days. What's the normal hibernation for Russians? What happens if he comes out of hibernation early, while were gone? Is there anyway I can make sure he stays in hibernation while we're gone?
