Tortoise Brumation.

How do people in northern climates brumate their tortoises? I just got my tortoise in December and he is about 96g currently.

I live in Northern Alberta. Winters here are exceptionally brutal, we can get to -40°C for a week at a time and roughly 6 feet of snow. I do have unheated sheds, but I assume -40°C weather would definitely kill him.

Enemy death pit?

He pushes all pinecones into this hole. I assume it is a mass grave for anyone intruding on his turf.

Should I be concerned

I am almost positive that sesame seed looking spot was not there on Wednesday. Does anyone know what it might be? The reptile vet is booking into the end of June.
