Brumation Article
Denise Bushnell put together a nice article to help explain just
what brumation is. Many people wonder what it's all about when
their beardie seems to slow down, sleeps a lot, an has a loss of
appetite. While these are often indications of a health issue,
they can also be a sign that your beardie is simply going through a
period of brumation. Check out this article to learn more!

us for use, that is definitely worth a thousand words. Something
as serious as impaction just needed to be written up and made
available here.
