HOW LONG SHOULD I LEAVE HER
Posted: 18/02/2014 by mrs f

Mrs b has been in fridge now since 14 Dec, she has only lost about 2g in weight, but im unsure how long i should leave her, she is 6 years old and weighed 826g.

Should i leave a few more weeks or is 9 weeks enough for her age and weight.

 

Many thanks

Debs

Hello Debs,


I've looked at your previous posts & it's good that things are going well.
She had 10 weeks hibe. last year, so with a weight loss of only 2gm, perhaps continue 'til the end of March. 
Make sure your outside enclosure is ready for her in Spring, the bigger the better.
Try to provide areas for burrowing, with no danger of escape.

Best wishes for a good Summer,
Tom
