Hi Nic,
I’m glad you highlighted this. Our over-wintering juvenile is now hibernating, but was getting very restless pacing up and down the large outdoor hutch from dusk to dawn. He hadn’t gained enough weight to be released, but it’s good to know that the advice now is to release the ones that have. keeping them in captivity for long periods of time can be very stressful, so as long as there is someone to keep an eye on them and provide food and water it can only be a good thing.
