Just checking in about this hibernation thing. My 4 month old has been hibernating in his tank since mid Dec. He has come out a few times, but won't eat, so I don't turn his light on anymore when he comes out, just give him some water. How do I know when it's time to turn his light on again? When he does come out now, he's very inactive and buries himself again pretty quickly. I don't want him to starve to death. But I'm also afraid if I turn his light on, and he's not ready, it'll sap his energy reserves. Help! What should I watch for to know he's ready to come out of hibernation? Thanks for any help, Lisa
