Hibernation

DoodleBopper · 17-01-2011, 10:31 AM

I am unsure whether this is already on the forum, but after all the recent heated discussions about hibernation. Maybe there should be stickies, one for those who do hibernate and one for those who dont. That way anybody wanting to make a decision about whether to hibernate or not can have a look at both sides of the stories without feeling bombarded or anything.

I think this is a good idea, the one FOR hibernation could include step by step guides of how members have hibernated, wind downs etc Would be useful for new members

Hmmm..the trouble is as I see it is there are different ways of hibernating, fridge, box, natural etc, there is more than one way. Different keepers choose different methods, you have to choose which is right for you, and even then there are no hard and fast rules/ different opinions

If every one added their own methods it could be even more confusing for the new keeper?
