Hi All, I have just put my 2 Herman's in the fridge for hibernation but I cant help being very worried!
I put them on a fast for just over 4 weeks, bathed them and dropped the temperature over the weeks and they were both a safe weight to hibernate according to the Jacksons ratio.
They've been in the fridge about 7 hours now and I have checked on them a lot. One is as I would expect, limbs and head pulled in and very settled. The other, smaller one has the limbs and head poked out more and is a bit more alert.
Is this normal, how long do they take to really settle?
Many Thanks!
