I think you`ve completely misunderstood what I said. Where did I suggest the conditions we keep them in are good enough, I said the complete opposite!?
If they were kept in optimum conditions, they wouldn`t be dying by the thousands every single year!!
You seem to believe that it will benefit them not to be kept active throughout the year, based solely on them brumating in the wild where conditions force them to behave that way. But if food were available, and temps etc suitable, would they still brumate (in the wild)? Personally, I don`t believe so....
Can I ask how big your monitors are just now (S/V length in particular)?
