What are your plans for hibernation? I have a vicinus colony from the Julian area and I'm trying to figure out if they need to hibernate.
I put mine in the fridge where it is around 32-34 degrees. People tell me that's too low but I have never had a death when hibernating except for my non hibernating species that I accidentally killed. If you have a wine cooler that would work well too. Just put them in early December and take them out the first week of March.
