Winter question

[Napalmseth]

I was wondering. This is my first winter with my pancakes. Do they hibernate?
If so, what is the lowest temp they can handle. I'm in south florida so it RARELY goes below 50f in the winter here.

No, they do not hibernate. They need warm temps year round.

Thank you, I'll move them indoors with UV lamps when it cools off.
