He seems to sleep through the entire winter non-stop. It is my understanding that Greek tortoises (that’s what he is) do that. I have never heard of soaking tortoises, although he likes to wade in his water dish. My father-in-law tries to teach him to swim, but so far without success. He is a good climber (the tortoise).

Do you have to soak him during winter? My mother lives in Tucson, AZ and her neighbor has rescue desert tortoises that she over winters in her garage for the Desert Museum. Every 6 weeks they come out of their straw boxes for a deep soak. They splash around a bit and then are placed back into their straw to resume hibernation. I was wondering if European tortoises need a soak?

Very exciting news! Spring is coming!!!
