    Winter fast/feed question

    I've been looking at the calendar trying to plan a feeding strategy for the changing seasons. Although I completely get that winter fasting is consistent with his natural physiology, I have some concerns pertaining to his "domestic" lifestyle. In the wild, the season changes, the temp goes down and he settles into a warm enough spot to sit it out. In my house (which can get wild, but not quite like a Central American jungle), I can drop the temp somewhat, but will still handle him on close to a daily basis. It seems like he would burn many more calories through handling than he would in the wild.
    Thoughts???
