I have a pair of rubbers I estimate to be born in 2003.
Last year they only ate for 3 weeks in April, so this year I decided to make better observations.
Here is what I have so far-
Went into brumation 12/1/2006 and kept at 38-40F.
Male-
Out of brumation 2/22/2007
Weight on 2/22/2007= 34g
First meal was taken 3/24/07 (1 f/t pink rat "only thing they touch"
Weight on 3/25/07= 37g
Second meal 3/29/2001 (2 f/t pink rats)
Weight on 3/29/07 = 44g
Female
Out of brumation 3/11/07
Weight on 3/11/07= 44g
First meal was taken 3/24/07 (1 f/t pink rat)
Weight on 3/25/2007= 47g
Second meal 3/29/2001 (2 f/t pink rat)
Weight on 3/29/07 = 58g
I am hoping they eat for more than 3 weeks this year….we will see!
