Wake up day

LUVLEE · 22-03-2016, 01:11 PM

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

Aww, good luck. Hope they both wake up nicely.

LUVLEE · 22-03-2016, 04:19 PM

Excellent to hear, Julie.

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

LUVLEE · 22-03-2016, 07:40 PM

I sure did don't think I will ever get used to it but the relief when they start is amazing

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...

LUVLEE · 23-03-2016, 08:09 PM

Saffron is 5 and Nutmeg 4 I have had them from babies and they have both been hibernated from 2 year old without problems

What nice ages.

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