Wake up day
Today's the day my babies wake from their long Winter sleep. They have done 16 weeks in total their weights since wind down have been stable I think they could have gone longer but I miss them and 16 weeks is the longest time they have ever done.
I'm feeling excited and nervous as I bring there hibernation box indoors |

That's good news! I bet you had deep breath of relief when you saw them gulping water and food down

This is really good to hear and encouraging for those of us that are on the cautious side. It must have been amazing to see them eating and drinking on the day they wake up.
How old are Saffron and Nutmeg? Such great names...

What nice ages.
I am going to be much more confident next year! Mine are 8 so I need to stop mollycoddling!
