First, a little history...
About 3 months Puff lost all intrest in food and lost a lot of weight. I took him to the vet and found out he had parasites. After I went through all his meds he still had no interest in food. For the past 3 months he's been eating baby food and I've been smashing up crickets for him 3 times a day (going home on my lunch breaks so he doesn't miss a meal). He's gained some weight but his legs, tail and hips are still to thin. I don't mind feeding him by hand or even missing my lunch to make sure my baby eats.

Now the new problem...
Puff has been wanting to brumate and I don't feel comfortable letting him yet. He's been sleeping all day and it's getting harder and harder to get him to eat. I've been waking him up to feed him then putting him in his basking spot. He stays there for about an hour and a half then goes right back to his sleeping spot. Should I let him brumate? Any suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
