Thanks for your advice.
You got me worried, so I decided to dig him up yesterday and brought him indoors, with lots of soil round him, so that he could wake up slowly. This morning he had dug himself out and I gave him a bath and a scrub. He seemed well, and the most amazing thing is that he lost only 28g in the 6 months dug down. (he weighs over 750g).
In comparison my little ones, who have hibernated shorter and in a fridge, have lost a lot more. I wonder why this would be.
Indeed he was so fit after only 2 hours of waking up that he has already chased the female round the enclosure.
