Hello Jason,

It is a glass aquarium, maybe 20 gallon. We don't remember in all the past years her ever being this active, especially at hibernation time. She usually just buries herself in her bark and goes to sleep. There is noise in the classroom as always, but it has never prevented her from hibernating before. We don't cover the tank, but it has always been on a rather dark shelf. The thermostat in the classroom is set at 66 degrees, but warms up from that when the children are there, of course. We have no special lights on her, only those of the classroom, which are on from around 9am through 6pm. There are no sprays of any kind used in the classroom. That is not permitted. What worries us most is that even though she is active, she will not eat. We have offered her the usual things, crickets, mealworms, even nightcrawlers, but no interest. Thank you for your thoughts.

Can you tell us a little about what it's set up is like?
