Hatchling hibernating???
I'd appreciate some advice please on Herman's babies:
I was lucky enough to have 3 babies hatch last September. They have never been very active, mainly sleeping and just coming out to feed. They weigh between 18 and 21 grams. In the last 2 weeks they seem to be even less active. 2 of them often don't come out of their hide to feed at all, just sleeping day and night. Is this something to do with their instinct to hibernate, or should I wake them up every day, to ensure they feed and bath? I think they are too young to hibernate, and I'm keeping a heat lamp on during the day, at around 27 degrees, which must be too warm for them to hibernate anyway. What should I do? |
