Help with hibernating??

[Rachelk]

Hi everyone!

So I’ve had my horse field Zippy for 3 years this Christmas and I have never hibernated her before. Last winter she really slowed down and rarely ate most of the winter although her heat lamp was on usual timings and she was bathed at least 3 times a week, she was also very active. I was worried but as February came around she was back to her usual self eating everything in sight. This year the same has happened again and she has completely stopped eating the last two weeks and is sleeping most of the day unless brought out of her box.

Does anyone have any advice? I’m such a worrier and am a bit wary of hibernating her and also have no idea how to do it.

Any advice would be great, thanks everyone!
