Hi Alice, How much does Percy weigh please, and are you thinking of hibernating him or overwintering? Ali

Re: Back to Basics Posted: 14/09/2009 by aliceham
Percy is 150 grams & is 14 months old. We are wondering whether to try hibernating him for the first time this winter, but are nervous about trying this without some advice first!
