Hi! I have a 4 year old female spur thigh who I have owned for just over a year and a half. Was planning on hibernating her this year but when I weighed her yesterday her weight on the jackson scale ratio came out as low weight for hibernation. Wondering when this scale should be used? just before hibernation process or late summer for example? She is currently on a tortoise table with lamps etc. Was planning on starting the process soon but worried she is under weight. Should I over winter her ?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
