When to bring Herman in
Posted: 31/08/2016 by paulne12

Hi, Thor is a 2yr old Herman and has lived quite happily outside in his enclosure since May this year. Question being is when should I bring him back in to his indoor table to  overwinter?? 

Thanks in advance Paul.

Hello,

I'm assuming that it has a waterproof house with the entrance facing S.E., & that you have accurate wt records.

I'd leave it out to wind down naturally. In mid to the end of Oct., it will be ready to hibe..

It can hibe. for 4mth this winter.
Regards,
Tom

ps What wt & straight length is it. The JR can't be used.
