Do tortoises wake up when the weather is mild?

Yes, tortoises can wake up when the weather is mild, especially if they have been hibernating or brumating during colder months. They are ectothermic animals, meaning their activity levels are influenced by external temperatures. Mild weather can stimulate their metabolism, prompting them to emerge and engage in foraging and basking. However, their activity levels will still depend on the specific species and environmental conditions.
