Horsfield hibernation question
hi everyone
I'd like advice and opinions on my following dilemma. Last year my smallest horsfield disappeared in September, I honestly thought she'd escaped, been taken by a bird or stolen, we searched and dug very extensively. However on a sunny day in April she appeared as a ball of mud in the garden! This year she has done the same, I know (roughly) where she is. So, do I dig her up when I put my others in the fridge in a few weeks or leave her? I live in Derbyshire and it was a mild winter here last year. She's under a huge piece of thick Cornish slate, but has no other protection. My instinct is to dig her up and pop her straight in the fridge, but do I do it now or wait until the others go in. It's currently very wet here. Many thanks Maddy |
