Re: Breeding Progress
I just give a bit more "comfort room" and only drop the temp to around 6C. The last time I did it, the lowest temp actually got to 5C, so I don't think the exact temp is critical. I just wouldn't suggest dropping them much below 4C (for obvious reasons). I also turn off all supplemental heating the day before I drop their temperature, so it simulates a cool day and cold night. I also put them in plastic shoe box at room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator to reduce how fast their temperature falls.
There's no need to allow them to digest completely before such a brief temperature drop. The food won't spoil, and there aren't any ill effects. I just cool them overnight (8-10 hours), and the results are impressive.
