hi all
i put my greek spur thigh into hibernation last night.
he is 188mm long, weighs 1200 grams. about 8 years old.
just over 4 weeks without food, and bathed him every 2 to 3 days.
he is going into a fridge at 6 degrees, and depending on his weight lose i was planning a 6 week hibernation.
during the process of cooling him down and putting him in the fridge for hibernation, he has urinated a small amount.
i have been told that this can happen during the change of temperture, and that he will be ok to carry on. is this correct?
should i leave him to hibernate and only bring him out if he urinated again or should i bring him out rehydrate and try again at the weekend?
