I do what tom and Jodie do as well, fast for 2 weeks and cool down for ten days. Right now I aim for 40-45 degrees

Hey, How is he doing? Mine are at 6 weeks , seem to be ok. I only let myself check them every couple of weeks. Check temps n open door quickly daily, but leave them alone. My temps are doing good 38 to 42 consistently. I plan to start waking them 2/1.Tomorrow is 4 weeks of hibernation for Stevie, and I'm super happy to be waking his lazy butt up! ;D Just kidding -- he loves his sleep and he's been doing very well all this time. I've been a very nervous tort mommy, but I know he's a tough kid. At 46°F, my fiancé and I didn't think he should be out for too much longer, which stinks here in Michigan as the majority of our winter snow and cold is just about to hit at this time of year. But that's just how it worked out this year. His mommy misses him too much though! I can't wait to see him again!!
My understanding is temps varying is ok. You want it as stable as possible, but you should be fine.Will be checking their weights in the morning but its been 3 weeks temps averaging 41 - 43 degs. Still have 7 more weeks! Wonder if they ever have bad dreams? Should i be concerned because temps did drop to 37- 41 degrees for a couple of days. Can't wait for the weather to break so i can get out and work on their outdoor enclosure.
You read my mind! Let's get some sunshine going!!I can't wait for spring to get here want to get outside working on my tortoise Utopia.
Great to hear! I'll bet they're well rested and energized now!Happy to report all 4 of my Russians are awake n well. Very glad to be getting them up successfully.
