Hi...I am debating whether or not to let my grays hibernate. I would like to breed them and I read here that if you want to breed then you need to let them cycle, hibernate. What are the pros and cons of hibernating vs not hibernating other than the breeding, and if I did choose to hibernate can I just set them on the porch in a critter keeper with soil in it? and the care sheet says to stop feeding them in october and after 2 weeks then start the hibernating...I live in Ohio so it should be cold enough come mid october november to put them outside for hibernating right?
I would miss them terribly while they hibernate![]()
