Hello again!

Definitely -- bring them out at this point. Considering that not very many meals were taken and the likelihood of the fat reserves in those hatchlings are diminishing over time, now would be the ideal time to do so. Hopefully you have been checking them throughout brumation? I had an '07 baby go into brumation with good body weight, and checked her all throughout. It was a 3-week period that I had not seen her and when I went to pull her out, she was VERY thin. With luck on my side and and some herp savvy, I was able to help pull her through, and even better, her feeding response is much better and has been on pinks. Keep us posted.
