Took Herman out for a walk after a nice bath for her, and without lowering the tone, I was trying to get her to poop as it''s good to get everything out before hibernation. Not only did she not go, she was full of beans and unfortunately ate a lot of weeds, most unusual for this time of year.
It has been unusually warm for nearly October, but it does mean that hibernation will be very late for Herman, and I still have to try and get her to poop before she sleeps!
Oh how I love seeing her here from this low vantage point, and my muscle memory can just feel her texture and weight as I look at this photo! Naptime? She'll let you know what she's ready!
@blightygal Absolutely! Until you've cared for one, you can't know how lovely and full of personality they can be! (Scratching under the chin, they're like cats and clearly show they're lovin' it!)
