I have not had my kids a full year and do not want them to brumate.
Tinker Bell and Peter Pan have there own plan. On the 12th Pan ate like normal little pig and Tink woke up long enough to watch me from the hay and then went back to sleep. They have slowly tapered off and neither have made an appearance yesterday or today.
I re did there substrate yesterday and soaked them for about 30 minutes while I cleaned there table. They were out long enough to explore a little then before I could get Wallie's (box turtle) bin cleaned and changed they were no where to be found. They have not been out to touch there food for a couple days. They have two basking lamps and with the room being warm, why on earth would they try and brumate?
How do I wake them up?
Here are some pictures of my kiddos.
This is the last time I remember Pan eating a entire plate while Tink watched. He finished what they both would normally eat then pooped in the plate.
Tink just watched as he ate.
I caught Pan out and basking yesterday after a bedding change but Tink was gone and shortly after this pick so was Pan
This was today and not sure if I should wake them daily or let them be?
It was very sad and there food went soggy.....
Is this normal or is it ok?
They always come out when I call them and they hear there plate plop down. Today, NOTHING! They have not been eating as much the last week or two but normally they devour there weight daily in greens.
Should I let nature run its course and sleep or wake them up?
Thanks
Sorry its my first winter with torts! Even my boxie has cut back on food.
