Cleaning cage during brumation?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering: my beardy is in brumation now in his own cage, but I also think the cage needs to be cleaned. Can I remove my beardy from the cage, clean it and put him back? Or shall I wait till brumation ends?
Thanks!
 
Depends on how deep asleep he is I suppose.

My beardie was so deep in I could drill next to her and she just kept on sleeping, so I moved her a bit to monitor and check on her.

The other option is to clean around him best you can without disturbing him. Or gently moving him by wrapping him in a blanket, having a blanket around them can make them feel like they're burrowed and keep them asleep.

Thank you for your reply :) For some animal species it is really bad to wake them up during brumation/hibernation, so I just wanted to be sure. I'll make sure he stays asleep and I will be very careful in cleaning around him. Thank you!

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
