I really need help. I think my boy really wants to brumate, and I've yet to deal with a brumating dragon, let alone one with ADV. I thought he was just being picky with food (roaches) cuz he was still eating calcium worms. Haven't offered them in a few days in an attempt to stop the pickyness, but he seems to be sleeping more, (still fairly alert) so I'm trying not to bother him too much. But i don't have any idea how i provide hydration and the "ADV supplements" if he brumates. ( it's been hard enough recently as he seems not so interested in the slurry i put the supplements in. Also he had some pinworms last time i checked, (started the panacur treatment about a week and a half ago, 3 doses, wait 3 weeks, then 3 more, but vet only provided .1 ml per dose, seems small for a 600 gram dragon) i know i need to be sure they're gone before decreasing light time and such. Though I've learned some things (re: beardies) over time, I'm truly lost here. One other thing, I've REALLY been wanting to start giving colodial silver, (right now i just give serrapeptase, milk thistle, bee pollen, and vitamin c) however i really know nothing about how to dose it. How much, how often, what kind of "on/off cycle," etc... I've also heard there's a potential of silver being harmful. (What's that about?)
