Mine came out today
All is normal. Followed the instructions laid out by http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/safer.html

Stitch is eating again, although not with the same enthusiam as before; while lilo refuses to eat. I am not suprised by this, as whenever I have moved her to a new set up in the past, she wouldn't eat for a few days.
I'll give them another bath today as they never did a wee or poo first time round.

I'll post a few pictures later. They've just been under the light since reintroduced back to the enclosure.

it's great to see them again Big Grin some eat straight away, others don't
don't worry as Wendy says hydration is more important at this point
my Dolly woke last weekend and didn't eat or pass anything til Tuesday but now there's no stopping her Smile

RE: Mine came out today
This was my first year with hibernation and to be frank, I didn't find it that much of a bothe; I see why first timers are nervous about it.
They'll have a second bath in probably 2 hours time. For the remainder of this week, I think I'll give them two baths a day just so they have plenty of chances to hydrate.
Lilo has always been a bit stubborn, so her behaviour doesn't surprise me. It is just annoying. Eat so I can see you are well darn it!

Weight loss - Each only dropped a few grams.
Lilo - 1/2g
Stitch - 2, maybe 3g
