Under Weight Posted: 04/01/2017 by joss |

I have a female 7 year old Herman that was too under weight for me to sadly hibernate this year and I recently took on a local unwanted 6 year old male Spur theigh, who is also under weight. The Herman surprised me by dropping weight this year even though she is up on last year weight. I was confident she`d be hibernated but when the time came to wind down, she was too under for me to be comfortable with. She eats most days but is still slowy losing weight. Is there any suggestions to what i can do to reverse the trend? She eats a variety of wild weeds and lambs lettuce. | |

Hello, Can you send details about how they are kept please, preferably with photos. Can you post the Hermanns wt records also please ? The more info you provide the better I can advise you. Tom | |
