My Tortoise Sleeps and Is Not Eating

by Natalie
(Cornwall)

My tortoise is not eating and he sleeps a lot. I let him out in the day and bring him in in the evenings. He just sleeps. The only thing that is stopping me in hibernating is that he wakes up in the mornings in his box. When is he going to go into hibernation?
