Hi there, I have 2 Russians about 7 yr. male and female/ They are outside untill the colder weather creeps in,(MA) This year I kept them out later than some, we had some nice weather. They both seemed to go alittle dormant right before I brought them in. I have a pool inside with lights etc. I haven't as yet hibernated them, but they usually have a couple to 3 months of staying out of the lights, no activity, no eating, the temps are not hibernating temps, but cooler. This year I finally decide to do the hibernation thing, and when I brought them in they stayed off to the side for maybe a week. I thought I would start to soak them and prepare for hibernating. Guess what? the female is so active, she's over by the food area, climbing the walls, up all the time I see her. The male is off to the coolest end and hasn't eaten in over 2 weeks.
What should I do? I have fed her because I can't just not do it?
When is too late to hibernate?
I have had these Russians for over 5 years and never hibernated, I am really ready, but I quess she's not.
Thanks so much Nadine
