Has it gone too warm?
Posted: 28/10/2009 by kohimagirl

Help....................Annabel did the wind down when she started getting sleepy and after 3 weeks and a week in the garage, she was put in the shed last weekend...........is it now too warm for her????????????????

Temps are 12c but that was when the sun was out midday and 9/10c morn and mid afternoon.

Wondering if I should abandon hibernation and get her up and put her back indoors????

Please can you give me your opinion?

Thanks

Hi,

This is the problem with the UK weather - it's just not realiable enough:-(
She's technically not in hibernation and whilst she will use up bodyfats slowly as the temperature is relatively low she is technically still in a slow wind-down. Unless an alternative can be found where the temperatures are more suitable, she won't hibernate at these temperatures.

Hi Darren,

Shall I wake her and abandon hibernation then?
