Hi, I'm Beth and I have a male Hermann who was born October 2019, I've him about 12 months and havent been able to up his weight for hibernation. This year I'll over winter him but I'd like some ideas of how to up his weight maybe to hibernate next year. When I adopted him, I started him on weeds, his main diet is narrow and broad leaf plantain, with a mixture of sow thistle, cats ear, lambs lettuce, snap dragons, petunias, willow herb, clover & loads more which are all a mixture of safe, moderate and occasional feeds...twice a month he has pellets mixed with water and dried weeds....Calcium and nutrobol on top too.
He has a indoor 6ft enclosure with heat lamp (32°c) and uvb lighting, top soil substrate, a 7ft outside enclosure where all his food grows in tops soil, he's only out there on nice sunny days.
I've been keeping a record if his weight and it only fluctuates 0.7g between each weigh in sometimes higher sometimes lower. I dont get what I'm doing wrong
He is under weight according to the Jackson ratio current weight 427.10 Size 17cm
