Day 10 Winter Quarters!

Yesterday was a dull wet day and the weather forecast suggested there might be a frost overnight so I thought it was time to put these little ones to bed.

I use shredded paper to make a comfy nest and they each have their own container.

Once they are covered over with the paper  the lids go on and hopefully they will go to sleep.

They sit on top of shelving. The vet says that in this country we should not really hibernate them for more than a few weeks. However this only works if you have all the heat lamps to keep them really warm and then they will go on eating. Unfortunately mine have to take pot luck. They stopped eating several weeks ago and they haven't come out of their house for several days. As for the frost ...it got much colder last night but no frost and the sun is out today!!!  Oh well Happy Hibernation Topsy, Tog and Tom see you all in the Spring.

Supergran

As many of you, who plurk or twitter, will know my alias is Supergran. A few weeks ago I was looking through You Tube to see if I could find any clips of the early TV programmes of the Supergran series. I found this introduction which comes from the TV museum (seems apt LOL), and wondered if it might bring back some memories to anyone in the UK.

I don't look like this, well not yet anyway!
