I really did have visions of him being buried alive! Thank Gawd you came back to this thread musicmummy!. As I said mine's never hibernated, but that's probably due to him being in a warm house. So glad I Googled to check if what I said was true (or as it turned out- not). Though I'm sure another ABer would have happily corrected me.
Keep us updated? I'm sure i've aged 5 years over this post....lol
