Hello Everyone!
As per the advice of my good friends on the TFO I am going to overwinter Beastie this year. As I have just moved home he is a little stressed and I don't want to make things worse by hibernating him - especially when the prep is due to start soon.
I do have some concerns though - winters in Scotland are cold and there's only around 6(ish) hours of sunlight a day - I want to make my preparations now so things go as well as possible.
My biggest concern is that all the weeds and flowers are dead! I have ordered a weed growing kit online and will try to make some from home but I'm sure that won't be sufficient for the whole winter. Is there any recommendations on what I could feed him? I don't want to be giving him things that aren't healthy- I worked really hard when I got him to get him off supermarket food and dry pellets.
Any help would be appreciated!
