Help! I've has my Russian about 3 or 4 years, the shop said she was 5 years when we got him. My daughter got her for me for mother's day and I've really grown to love her. Her name is Morla. I'm worried that her substrate is too dry for brumation. Is it inhumane to forcefully wake them up and pull them out of the burrow? She resists with all her might when I try to pull her out.
