Brumation Help

[Callum Dureau]

Okay so on my recent post I talked about how I was worried about my woma, but you guys told me that it is brumation and its fine. So I need your help, AGAIN.
I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer for me.
Do I still offer her food?
Do I lower heating temperatures?
How long does this last for?

All help is appreciated!

If you think she is underdone, offer food. If she takes it, wait until she poops and sheds before turning down the temps. You can then reduce the temps by a few degrees, as well as shortening the time heat is on.
Some people like to keep a lower heat throughout, others (myself included) just turn off completely until September.

Brumation is a period of fasting so no food. Feeding at lower temps the food is likely to be refused but if it is eaten may cause more problems than its worth.
I don't heat at night ever so my winter change is just about reducing the hours heat is available, I do it gradually in line with sunrise/sunset changes but others do have different ideas to this.
I won't start warming them back up till late Aug/early Sept
