when you bring them inside for the winter, are you just providing enough warmth for them to have a "less severe winter" ?
do they stay in a hibernation state?


I'm considering if I would be able to keep a few chucks. I live in Safford, AZ. I would want to build an outdoor enclosure like the ones you show on your website, but wasn't sure what I would do with them in the winter. Safford usually gets down below freezing a few times during the winter. I'm thinkng I could keep them inside my garage during then winter and just use a small electric heater to keep the temp just a bit above freezing?? would that work?

thanks again!
