They have already started to slow down now, eating less, moving about less and going in earlier in the evening even without me reducing heat and light until 7pm. Currently heat and light comes on at 8am and goes off at 7pm so I'm assuming I will need to shorten this further over coming weeks?
Not long now until the clocks change and it will start getting dark at 5pm!

Depending on where you live and temps, its a little early to start to wind them down for hibernation.
I personally leave my smaller ones until at least the end of October. So they are asleep for the coldest months. Especially as weeds are harder to come by during this time.
