Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to say that I'm now half way through my 1st hibernation,  Woo Hoo!  Only 4 weeks to go and then I can get the troublsome twosome up.  Can't wait.  Really  am missing  them, more than I thought.  I actually have lunch times to myself now rather than bathing, feeding, weighing and watching!!! 

After a nerve racking start all seems to have settled and Tetley has finaly got his eyes closed.  I'm feeling loads more relaxed now which is a relief although I tend to wake up in the middle of night wondering what the temp in the fridge is so I now take the thermometer to bed  I'm sure I'm loosing sense of reality but who cares!!!!!!!!

Only problem is I hate waiting for their weekly check it seems to take FOREVER to come around.  I had a sneaky check today with them being so quiet and of course they are fine...... Is this OK??????

Hope everyone elses hibernation is going well?

Love Row, Tetley n Twiglet

Well done Row         you are doing a great job!!

Hi Row

Congratulations, you had a shaky start but you stayed with it. I guess we can say that you are officially experienced in hibernation!!!!

This is coming up to Molly's first week of hibernation. Like you I keep checking the temps, I even pop in when I wake up in the early hours of morning just to make sure everything is OK   Miss her loads.
I not going to hibernate Keya this year as her weights will not stay very stable and also she keeps getting gritty urates, can't for the life of me see how everything is spot on, she seems to do this when she is indoors.
Glad things are going good for you

Good on you Row   I havent even started my hibernations yet but the Hermanns are just starting to slow down with the colder nights and I've decided to give the little Horsfields the fridge treatment cause they're so ready to go.

Well done Row:-)

My lot have been away for a while now - off on our hols on Friday without any tortoise worries:-)
