One of my horsfields Tilly spent most of last summer dug in
the ground and I never saw him for 2months when he did
surface I brought him in with Tiny and then put them in
the fridge.Tilly never went to sleep and I took him out again.
I took Tiny out 2 weeks ago and he's fine eating and fit,but
Tilly has started to sleep most of the day not eating could I
put him in the fridge for a while untill the weather is better
then put him outside.

You need to get your horsfield to the vets as soon as possible.

I have to agree with Sandy, digging down for 2 months in the summer certainly isn't good, and then failed attempts of hibernation.

I would not try to hibernate now as still showing poor signs of activity and get to vet A.S.A.P

Thanks for your replys when he came back up in the summer
which wasn't much of a summer he stsrted eating straight away
and has continued to do so all winter could he not have his
summer/winters round the wrong way after our very cold summer.
