Hi,beginner scared beardie owner here,
I was wondering if there was such a thing as "Pre-Brumation."
I just read the Brumation article here on BD.com, and the behaviors seemed a little intense for what I am seeing.
My beardie (14mo) is eating a bit less insects, maybe 60 to 70% of his normal intake, and 20% of his normal overall interest.
He is using the restroom every other week
He is not touching his veggies at all- which isn't a huge change TBH
He half hides? He kinda hides under his half log basking spot, but I don't think he naps. I don't have anything for him to hide under at all. He has a couch and some precariously stacked wood.
He definitely isn't sleeping except for at night.
He still does his behavior where he looks out the glass and puts his hands on there.
He is very dark. but he usually doesn't have dark stress marks
Could he not be brumating, and instead have parasites?
Is he going to brumate?
Help!
Thanks
