after hibernation

Posted by mardou on March 13, 2002, 11:48:49

Hi
my two tenrecs (E. telfairi, female, 3 years) went into hibernation half september (temp 18-20C). I warmed up the cage half febr. (now temp 23-33C). The problem is, they don't eat and are not active. They lost weight from 160 to 100 gram so that is to much. I checked their faeces on parasites, it was negative. I try to force feed them but they seem to be not hungry. Does anyone have a tip how I can stimulate them to eat or what the problem might be?
thanks!
