Steve i have unheated greenhouse and they all go down on the same day, dig in and they all come out on the same day , unheated horsfields - they may wake up different times and dig upwards but they all come out together - this is usually when the weather reaches a continuous 12 degrees. sometimes that can be February time and it goes cold again in which case they hang around the entrance or dig down again for a short period. like Sandy , they have done this for over 20 years and even the tiny ones will do it though I am more cautious with them and if they dont feel like a little brick (weight) I will get them up and lamps once acclimatised to indoors - not for long though cause horsfields dont like masses of heat and will burrow again, but do like dry..a challenge when getting that balance towards spring though, CB
