Cable/Amazon,
I tried a little experiment when hibernating my DHL's and Solares this year. I moistened about 1/3 of the sand in their aquarium and left the other 2/3's dry. 4/5 of my animals have burrowed into the moistened area, only to have been seen sporatically since, looking well hydrated and quite healthy. The only animal that didn't is my Solare runt, which never burries itself.
Not sure what this all means, but it is interesting just the same. Will have to compare pre/post hibernation weights to get a good feel for whether the technique is successful or not.
Thanks, Roger
