i got him 3 yrs ago- from someone in germany who moved to dublin- who got
him from someone in czeh republic--- i must admit when i got him i knew the very basics- i didnt know that there were sub species.......... the woman told mew he was from tunisia(wrong) and that he didnt hibernate i thought she ment he didnt hibernate because of his RNS and pneumonia......... when that cleared up considerabely i hibernated him but he didnt fall asleep properly......so after 2 weeks i took him out. thye nxt yr he hibernated grand for 3 months then last yr for 5 ........................ but i dont think coastals are ment to hibernate ................ just incase yr wondering he has a licence |

Personally I think your best bet would be to ask Andy Highfield to positively ID him for you as there appears to be a huge grey area here.
