Advice on hibernation weights.
I am hibernating 5 of my females this year.
What I am unclear about is the weights after wind down. Before wind down all 5 were ok weights to hibernate according to the jacksons ratio. But after wind down their weights have dropped and if I go on the Jacksons ratio they are too low to hibernate So what I'm asking is.... Do you go by the weights before or after the wind down? Thankyou..

Personally I'd go by the weight after wind down than the weight before wind down. Thats why I'd rather see a tortoise above average weight (if being hibernated) as quite a bit of weight on a big tortoise is food.
