[VET] Brumation Observation
New turtles transferred to a different climate anytime close to changing seasons have to get an extra close watch in quarantine to see if they're preparing to brumate for winter or not. Brumating too early or too late can have potentially deadly consequences, and they may be brumating based on climate cues from their old home conditions and not their current ones. If there's any risk their timing may be off, they'll be kept indoors until things warm up again in spring.
