Hey everyone my boy ragnar has been in brumation for 11 weeks now :( missing him millions :( we are in Scotland so very cold here at the moment. Is it normal for him to still be brumating this amount of time? He isn't fully asleep as we wakes up at least once a week to get some heat will sleep under his basking spot then later in the day he will go back under his hide to sleep again? This is the first time he has done it as last year he was too young. Some people are saying up his temperature again and others are saying don't just leave him he will come out it himself. He hasn't lost much weight alot only 30g so he is still doing well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏 will attach a wee picture of him. Will be a day he woke up the pictures was taking last week when he woke up for a heat.

Hes fine -- sounds like hes doing the semi brumation thing- offer him water when he comes out- he needs to stay hydrated -- you can offer food see if he will eat -

I miss mine too. My first winter of him brumating at 2 1/2 years old. I guess this is a thing yearly . Baaahumbug !
I will say spring will be even better when he wakes ❤️❤️❤️
I take him out weekly and let him soak for 30 min. It’s my only dragon love time

It not nice is it 😕 when your that used to them running about everyday and then they just sleep :(.I was told not to take him out at all like don't disturb him cause it might make him stay in it longer don't know if that's true or not. This is my first year of him brumating as well. That's good you got 2 and a half years without yours going into it. Your dragon is very handsome what's he/she called?

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 💔
