Hello forum users!
Its 6th day of december and normally bearded dragons starts brumation and start that long good sleep.
But my bearded dragon is like 5 months old and hes acting weird. When i wake up at 7-8am i put UVB and basking light on for him. Then i eat breakfast and check if hes out of his hiding/sleeping spot and hes not. I have to get him out to basking spot every morning so he can get some heat to his body. Then he might eat a cricket or couple mealworms when hes done basking.
Then comes the weird thing (keep in mind that this is my first beardie so i dont have experience from a whole year cycle how things go) he might get some UVB on him and chill for couple minutes then hes off to his hiding spot. But hes not sleeping? He just lays there eyes open doing really nothing. He is responsive for example he follows my finger when im trying to get his attention.
I get him out from his hiding spot for like 3 times a day to under basking spot. Cycle wich im currently using for him is 12/12hrs.
Month ago he still ate crickets like 3-10 a day and bunch of mealworms. Hes really bad when it comes to veggies/fruits. Been trying to feed him carrot,summer squash,pea sprouts, arugula and basil.
I have done my research and if im not mistaken every answer directs to brumation. I want to be sure about this because he is still eating some, after basking and eating he lays on his hiding spot, eyes open.
Thanks for answers already!
