Weight loss during brumation

lkt Jan 29, 2004 01:24 PM

Kiana has been napping since about mid October (I wish I knew exactly when, but didn't write it down) and has lost 11 grams total.

She's down to 366 from 377. She was at 371 6 weeks ago, so the weight loss seems pretty consistent.

Is this about normal? Since the last time I weighed her, she's slept very soundly, rarely even opening an eye.

11 grams isn't a huge amount. That's a long time to brumate. IMO, a small amount of weight isn't anything to be alarmed about. Maybe a little hydration bath?
