Yes, I know. Well, that would be about 7 months from now.

That's something I actually consider, but there are some difficulties finding a place to brumate her. The fridge isn't an option and I'm not sure the temperature in my parents' cellar stays stable enough. I probably already mentioned I tried lowering and eventually shutting off the lighting and lowering the temperature, though not as drastically as in a real brumation.

Now don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the advice, it's just that I've already considered these tricks. I'm also glad nobody has suggested force feeding.
