I got 1 male and 1 female russian in July. They are in a large outdoor pen with edible plants and soft soil areas in which they dig in at night.

I researched hibernation and most sites said not to hibernate them in the first year.
Is this right and if I don't hibernate them what do I do?
I live in Southern California and the temperature rarely sinks below 5o F.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
