    It could shorten their lifespan in theory, because their bodies have adapted to only be active those few weeks a year. Imagine aestivation like turning a battery-powered object off. The battery lasts longer right? But if you leave it on constantly, it will run out much faster.

    No offense but that logic does not make sense to me. Their bodies are not batteries they don't run out of energy. Maybe physically they get tired but I don't see how that would shortin their life span.
