Hibernation for res's is seldom spoken of in full here and I'm just wondering if anyone's practiced at 'wintering over' their res's.

Mine are now in semi-hibernation. By this I mean, they'll eat at times, surface and float around, but for the most part they aren't sleeping. They eat very little too. The weather where I live doesn't get below freezing, so they won't stay asleep for long intervals and I feel I should feed them occasionally.

I'm just afraid they'll become malnourished if I don't. I'd heard this before, that they could even starve if they don't go into deep hibernation. I'm also worried about their well-being.
