My baby bulls (hatched early May 09) were in brumation for 56 days. I am happy to report they have both eaten twice since coming out of brumation last week. Appetites back with a vengeance; mission accomplished!

I am giving them summer day lengths and have raised their habitat warm hide temperature making sure to avoid fluctuations, as jcherry had suggested. They could eat more but I am giving them meals slowly graduating in size so as to not shock their systems.

I love these little dudes and want to do everything I can to see that they have a long and healthy life. I am very grateful for the expert help I have gotten at this forum. Thank you, all.

They look at me after eating like Is that all we get!?
