Okay, I got 18" dirt, 3-4" of mulch and I just got done stuffing leaves into the hide boxes. What else should I do to prep for hibernation? Should I spread hay on top AFTER they go under or now?
On a side note, we have been in the middle to high 30's at night and in the 50's during the day. We are to have our first freeze tonight. Some of the boxies are still out and about. Is this normal? Will they eventually go under? Should I be feeding them anything special right now to help with fat storage or anything?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am new at "real" hibernation.
Thanks!
