Out of hibernation

**16 shells** · 17-02-2009, 08:25 PM

Two of our young Hermans came out of hibernation today, after 12 weeks. it was a bit late in the day 3 o'clock. I woke them up with a warm up under a lamp, then a good soak for nearly 20 mins, then back into there table for more warmth. First food offered after a couple of hours, Maggie the smaller one ate a little then basked. Alec the other has not eaten yet. I am very happy with there progress after hibernation, last year they had a full day to recover, hope Alec eats tommorrow. How long will some torts take to start eating after the sleep.
