Perfect pet for skiers
Login
Yes a tortoise is a perfect pet for skiers because of the hibernation period but how very dare you say it is he's only redeeming feature...
He is adorable and could probably ski better than you if he tried!
That's not a problem when you have three grown up son's who are NOT teachers and therefore don't have six weeks off to go on holiday...always someone here throughout the year!
A fridge is recommended for hibernation because you can regulate the temperature, but you are right bandit, they need air so you have to open it on a regular basis.

snowb4ndit has just acquired a tortoise called Oswald from Scunthorpe she is obviously totally mad ...however it is a perfect pet for skiers because it hibernates in the winter leaving one free to pop it in the fridge and head for gatwick...(only redeeming feature really!!)
its all going rapidly downhill!

OMG, didn't know you could still get them as pets. We had one when we were kids. Kept "Harold" in a shoe box filled with straw.

I think hibernating Tortoises may still need AIR to breathe, so the fridge may not be the best place :shock:

Yes but the downside is he wakes up in the summer when you want to go on your hols.
