Default First Horsfield hibernation

We have an approx 2 year old Horsfield who we have had a year and we don’t think he’s hibernated before. We plan to do a three week windown - no food then no lights - then hibernate for 3-4 weeks from 4 Jan.

He weighs 158g and is 90mm in width and length and 60mm in height. But according to the McIntyre ratio he is 120g too light.

He is eating, eyes and nose clear, no issues. He lives in an open top box with a megaray and spent most summer outside in a pen.

Does his hibernation plan sound ok?
