Our post just got delivered and I have a lovely card from Ewa. Thank you @Pearlyx
I never soaked Joe. I figured the risk of him peeing in his hibernation box was too high. Once he was down, I only had a check to see if he had shifted and very occasionally weighed him. Weighing him was like weighing a statue though as he wouldn't shift... I never took him anywhere warmer to risk him stirring.
The tree is still up. We have Christmas music on the iPod. It is still Christmas
I remember, years ago (almost two decades, maybe), asking someone in Central Florida how he knew it was time to let his giant tortoises out of their winter accommodations. His answer was basically that THEY told him...by plowing down the temporary barrier he'd installed a few months prior.
If he drank a lot, it probably isn't a bad thing. Imagine how dehydrated he'd be if you didn't check on him for another several weeks. Everyone's situation is different, with different microclimates. We all have to figure out what works best for our shelled friends in our individual situations.
And a very Happy New Years to you too.
Enjoy your trip! Personally, I think it's a bit chilly for a tent here right now. Camping waits for better weather
Too bad you can't fine them for each occurrence of spamming they get caught doing...

It's been a hectic day for me cooking wise - the only lunch I cook a year - but it went down well and so far has stayed down!!
So my nephew and I survived it, yaaaaaayy!!!
I have just driven him home so I am having a few glasses of wine and finally managing 5 minutes to pop into the CDR to say that I hope you all had, or are having, a lovely day and that Santa was good to you.
Time for some catching up reading now, so not see you soon, TTFN
How big is Sully now? I'm getting better at matching tort names and species to user names... Along with locations. I'm still working on the details for certain torts.
