Short brumation-Feeding Response?

I am brumating my 09 bulls which basically went off feed in late October, after eating enthusiastically all summer. They were born in May. I put them into brumation in mid November so they would not lose weight. They are doing fine, not having lost weight, and are in good health.
My question is: how soon can I take them out of brumation and expect a good feeding response? Could I warm them up now or wait until February as originally planned? Since they are photosensitive, will the longer days in February make a big difference in the feeding response?
