hi,
i really hope im not repeating a previous thread
george my hermanns lives permanently outside (enclosure pics are elsewhere on this site)
hes been happy as of late, but the british weather (as any of you that live in the uk know) has suddenly changed... and its freeeezing!!!
george has never hibernated before, (he is four years old) and so recently we stopped feeding him, and he hasnt had anything to drink for days. his heat lamp still comes on a few hours a day, but he has stopped getting up. so i assume he is trying to hibernate.
should i now bring him in, put him in a box, hibernate him, etc.
just that i have read recently that hermanns maybe don't need to be hibernated... and maybe i should just keep him in an indoor enclosure for the winter months?
im confused... at the moment, hes outside in the day, and in a box in our spare room at night...
please help!!!
