Hi again everyone. Well, Rico has done well the past year. He saw a vet, ate well, went into hibernation, etc.
It is now nearly May, and I'm concerned that he is not coming out of hibernation. We have checked on him and the kids even took him outside one day. I turn on the heating lamp in the room and open all of the windows for sunshine. I make sure there is water in his enclosure every day as well. I am concerned though. Should I just crank up the heat and make it instantly "summer" in there? Should I give him a nice, warm soak? Will that wake him up? I have read that I can soak and add baby food to the soak water. Should I do that when he wakes up? I just want him up and moving..........this really seems way too long of a "nap". TIA for any insight into this!
Cheers,
Stacy
