Hibernation weight loss advice please Posted: 28/12/2015 by George Norman |

Hi My five year old Hermanns began his hibernation on the 9th November. I would just like some advice about his weight loss please..... its his first hibe and he's lost 18g so far. I know he can lose 10% of his start weight which would be 70g so all seems well and he looked fine when I checked him over. My question is, does this weight loss seem ok for the time he's been hibernating (just under 8 weeks)? I was thinking of leaving him another 4 weeks before checking him again? Thank you. | |

Hello, Yes check in a month. If you've stabilised the temp. to 4C, the wt. loss will now slow down. Regards, Tom | |
