Nice, Terry.
They have a nice big pool and they go into the water on their own.
My hibernation cave is elevated and is also covered, so when the snow melts it will drip off the cover, which is extended a bit, and roll into the garden. I have three weep holes on the sides of the garden, so it will drain out. I don't know what could happen if the water accumulates where he is dug under, but I wouldn't want to take a chance of him drowning.
All mine are in the cave now except the two males. They will go up and down the whole garden a few more times to make sure everyone is in the cave and eventually they will go down themselves. I don't know what's going to happen next week though, because they say it's going into the 70's again. Poor guys they don't know what to do.
Super series of photos.This is the pine hay. And the next picture is during the Winter everything , the whole garden covered with snow.
