I seem to have successfully hibernated my Russian. I have checked on him daily and he seems to being doing well. It's his first hibernation and mine! I am planning to wake him on Monday and would like any advice from experienced hibernators. I have followed the vets advice on the length...

Hi I would be gratefull for some sound advice. I have just become the proud owner of a 4 yr old horsefield. I have just brought her a table as she was in a vivarium and have got her an outdoor run. On reading up I think she may have some pyramiding. She is 400g at present. Is this the...
