Welcome the Spring! Morla is awake!
So this is the first year we tried brumation for our Russian tortoise Morla and I was so worried about her for the 6 weeks she was sleeping (didn't want to try for longer on her first year because we were not sure how she'd do). So last Sunday we woke her up after her long winter nap. Day one she headed right for a corner, ignored her food and fell right back to sleep. Day two she was under her basking light and had finished her breakfast in record time! Day three she did a nice big poop!! I am so exited that she is up. I missed her but mostly I am glad she did well. Now she's back to her old self with her routine firmly in place (eat, drink, soak, poop, climb, patrol, bask, sleep, repeat).
