Aestivation Questions.

[GRABibus]

Hi SCF.

She went under from mid October 2012.
I decided to dig her up mid of March 2013. So 5 months after.
If you keep the substrate moist, normally she doesn't estivate. If she went under with full stomach, then she would defecate under the substrate. In this case, you have to clean it rapidly.
If she went under with empty stomach (As mine since 3 weeks now), according to me, you can dig her up each 3 or 4 months to clean the enclosure and to feed her. You have to check periodically alos if everything is going well.
This is what I do since one year without any issue until now.
Of course, you have to feed her a lot when she is out and manage the defecation. With mine who is constipated a lot, it is not easy !
