Do you think it is possible to artificially induce molting in molting animals and hibernation in animals for which it is characteristic?

Yes, it is quite possible to artificially induce both molting and hibernation. People who keep animals that sleep in winter at home do just that. To do this, it is important to recreate the conditions under which the animal sheds or hibernates. Hibernation occurs with a decrease in air temperature, with a decrease in food. If we put the animal in a cool place, reduce its diet, the metabolism in its body will begin to rebuild for the winter, as it will take the changed environmental conditions for the onset of cold weather. This can also explain the appearance of connecting rod bears if warming occurs unexpectedly during winter. The bears, feeling warm, wake up, expecting to see spring – but outside they are still waiting for winter and lack of food. In such conditions, the animal most often dies – either from hunger or from people, since such animals come to villages in search of food. Molting in animals is caused in the same way – by a change in external conditions.
