That could be. I've noticed that the lighter colored mandarins seem to be the worst initial feeders. So I've speculated that they come from the cooler shorter summered areas and that they are most likely to go into the ground without eating. Pure speculation of course, but that's half the fun in making up theories. The less the proof, the harder to disprove.
>>I remember when I used to keep moellendorffi that the babies sometimes were difficult to get going. They did great after the brumation. I wonder if the species doesn't time it in the wild to hatch in the fall, or even, late fall?
