I live in the PNW, near Portland, OR. We created an outdoor enclosure for our Russian. In August he went missing and we thought he had escaped, but yesterday he emerged from a deep hole in the enclosure- evidently he was hibernating this entire time!
My question is this: Is he done hibernating? He is very sleepy and not interested in food. It’s February, so the weather doesn’t seem ideal for coming out of hibernation (though we are having a very mild winter). I will put a heat lamp out there for him, but will that ruin his hibernation if he wants to get back to it?
