John, I didn't mean to imply they liked hot weather, but that they were avoiding hot weather. That could be a reason why they're so fossorial too. Just trying to come up with a reason why the babies sometimes don't eat. Is this the first year you've kept them in the air-conditioned room?

>>I'm pretty sure that (at least) the mandarins I'm working with are a cooler climate animal. I've kept them in an air-conditioned room this summer and they've thrived!!! A long term wild caught male that previously was a very poor eater is getting fat. Others that used to stop eating in July are going strong here at the end of August. For the most part they are actively avoiding the heated cage areas and enjoying the colder temps (70 F at night, 74 F during the day). I would say they are definitely not hot weather animals.

>>Best of luck with the guttatus.
