Answer 1

if the temps you get where you live are below 10*c then yes it will be still sleeping, but i noticed in another question you asked for unisex names as your tortoise was below 5 years, if this is so then your tortoise should not be hibernating until it reaches 5 years of age, so no it should not be a sleep at all, you may have to find a sitter for your tortoise, if it is above 5 years of age and is sleeping then you need to check it before you go and check it as soon as you come back, all tortoises that are hibernating should be checked weekly anyway, here is a site so you can see how to hibernate your tortosie saftely,  http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/sa...
