hi friends! my beardie has recently been acting weird? he’s eating normal and has correct temps and basks after he eats but the rest of the time he just spends in his hide? I can only get him out if I offer him food and he just doesn’t wanna seem to leave the hide. like I said, everything else is normal and he doesn’t black beard or puff or anything like that. he’s not losing weight. does anyone know why this is???? it sounds like kinda brumation??? but I’m not sure and a bit worried. any help is much appreciated!

How old is he? If he is a baby not normal-- if he's 8 months or older he's being lazy- they tend to slow down in winter- babies should be active eating basking running around the tank etc-- older they tend to hang out in their hides eat less sleep alot-- take naps - as long as he's doing what you say he should be fine

Well I am not sure --- my 6.5 month old is basking active and eating normal everyday activity - as long as what you said he should be fine - keep an eye on him hes gonna do what he wants as long as hes eating maintaining or even gaining weight basking and pooping you should be good

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
