Rango and Guru seem like they've stayed pretty plump through out the winter. All 3 of them have been going back and forth, they haven't been eating a ton either (expected). Today they're all up! I feel like Gimli (hybrid) looks pretty slim... Some of it might be an illusion? I'm trying to just look at the base of his tail and his hips. I'll see if I can get more pictures. I'm gonna feed them today but the last time Gimli ate was Monday. He had 3 jumbo mice.
I haven't had to deal with this hibernation/brumation stuff in the past, is it normal for them to get a bit slim or should I start looking into other things like possible parasites or something? I had always been under the impression that they shouldn't be losing weight.

I think the angle is kind of funky but it definitely shows what I mean.
