Hi Chaps,

Mrs Brown ( Hermann - 5 years old ) has been in fridge hibernation since beginning of Dec, has been checked every few days and been fine, no pooing or weeing, only lost 3g in weight, but this morning i checked and i found small lump of poo, she is still a sleep and pulled her legs in when i touched her, but should i wake her up now because of the poo, was planning on hibernating her till beg of Feb, sorry cant remember her weight before going in fridge, im at work at notes all at home...she has hibernated previously, but not last winter as she was ill through the summer before, but made full recovery... pls advise asap.. many thanks  

This will be fine. It will have been in the end of the digestive tract and not a problem. I often find these just after hibernation in the box. She can lose up to 10% of pre-hibernation weight with no problem.

Hope I got here in time, before you woke her lol

Take care

Sue
