They're really neat creatures. I kept a pair that was the only 2 to survive about 12 of them getting stuck in my window well, they were so dehydrated and starved that they would not have survived hibernation (this was October '07 so they didn't have time to refatten before the big freeze). I released them the following spring.
Yeah it seems they get into window wells pretty easy, just not out quite so much. Maybe we need to put little ramps so they can crawl out.
