That's really neat, Otto! I wouldn't have thought of doing it in the dark but that is a good idea and I will remember it when it's Rufus' time. How long has Chief been snoozing?
Hard to imagine how totally asleep they can be! He is such a major part of your lives it's understandable how much you would be missing him. Do you ever just want to softly shake him awake? "Hey you, are you still in there?" I think I'm going to be very bad at brumating. :cry:
Totally love the new pictures of Chief, s-specially with his awesome crown of feathers!! He is such an interactive little critter, it's easy to understand why you miss him so much while he gets his "Beauty" sleep. Haha, just a little pun :-)
