"If a baby tegu misses the first year of hibernation, they can reach three feet in one year. If the baby hibernates he will be the same size at the time he hibernated. Babies that hibernate will reach about half as much or less in size as those that do not hibernate." Taken from Varnyards' care sheet.
The part when it says "babies will only reach half as much or less in size..." That doesn't mean that they will never get as big as those who don't hibernate, just that it will take longer right?
Plus my baby tegu is staying down a lot but he's still small so I guess he knows that he has to hibernate... When I do catch him out every once and a while I do notice him twitching. I have a UV on him. Does it just mean he doesn't like me?
