Thanks Bob. He's back in his cage now, everything's off, and I made him a brumation box. He seems to like it, but I'm still a bit scared. Feb 15th will be 2 months without food and 1 month brumating. He's already looking skinny. I don't think I should push it into March, but I'll just try to pay attention to what he "tells" me. !! (Actually, he just came out of his box a second ago...hmm..)
