I am trying to breed for the first time and have run into some possible trouble. My female normal corn last ate in mid November. Two weeks later I began to cool her, December 1. She has been in a cage in my basement, ave temps about 52 degrees, never reaching above 58. Today, I went down to check on her and found that she defecated, not huge but still I was surprised. Should she be brought out of brumation? If I do, can I wait til spring to mate her as the male will not come out til March. Should I be concerned. I do not want any undigested food in her stomach.
Thanks for any response
