Default Is it too early

My three horsfields have been very in active for the last month so for the last two weeks i have cut there food right down, is it too early to stop feeding them for hibination i was thinking of putting mine out in the outhouse around second week of november.
one of the horsfields only wakes up when i put him in the bath he doesnt come out at all under the lamps.

If you are sure all are healthy , and have enough body fat to hibenate safely then I can see no reason not to do this?
Make sure they are well hydrated though before they go down properly though!

Take care

I agree, in fact one of my iberas has already decided to go down by himself and has dug about 6" down into his enclosure already!
