Hi Shazzler Good to see you posting again No cause for concern afaik. It just shows he is well hyrdrated. Pleased to hear Twiglet is up and about after a succesful hibernation. I just got my male hermanns, Michael, up yesterday. He's had 2 baths so far, but no wee as yet. He has started to eat though so all well so far. I've still 2 female hermanns and 3 juvenile Russians in hibernation and they have a few more weeks to go unless they wake up sooner. Helen | |
