brumation

Hi all. I've been following this page for a while but this is my first post! I have a 2 year old beardie boy named Peach Fuzz and I can see signs of him going into brumation. We live in northeast USA and the days are starting to get short and cold. This will be his 2nd brumation. I've seen...

My bearded dragon is about 10 months old now, which I have done research and this is about the time when they could go into brumation. This is my first beardie/reptile and I need to know if what I have learned is correct and if I am doing everything right. First I will start with his behavior...

My beardie is about 11 months old and started brumating at about 2 months back (in our winter). September is our spring month but was a very cold September. About 2 weeks ago it started warming up to over 30C - 35C outside. He is still sleeping. He came out about 2 weeks ago (looked very...

i’ve had a dragon i purchased from a breeder on Morph Market 3 weeks ago. still awaiting vet visit monday. born June 17. ever since i got him he’s been extremely thin & lethargic. his eyes are always closed & he’s very unresponsive. there’s been multiple times i’ve thought he was gone, but...

My girl's been in her cave a lot, refusing greens when she used to be a great eater, and has even started giving me the glare and squinting when I offer roaches. Hasn't been basking and if I put her there she goes back in her cave. She very rarely comes out to look around, maybe dig a bit. The...

My dragon Sun Scorcher has completely buried herself in a burrow she dug for brumation. It’s been two weeks since she began her deep sleep, and I wonder if I should wake her up to offer her some water. She’s likely going to stay in there for a few months. Since it’s difficult to drop water on...

Hi. I have a 3 year old named Oslo. We recently moved in March, and he’s not taking it well. Since then he’s always hiding, refuses to bask, refuses to eat, and is constantly stressed. When I get him out of his enclosure he starts acting aggressive but has never bitten me. Super out of character...

Hey so Xion stopped eating two days ago and won't leave her cave, she sleeps through the day (though sometimes she opens her eyes and gives me the stink eye) and I'm worried she's brumating. She's only 9 months old and her tank is nice and warm, but most concerningly she's currently being...

We have 2 bearded dragons with ADV, and it seems as though the symptoms of ADV often exactly mimic brumation: - Not eating - loss of energy - spending a lot of time in hide/not basking Because I would approach brumation and symptomatic ADV quite differently (and in some ways completely...

My bearded dragon has been displaying unusual behavior lately. After a three-month brumation period that concluded about a month ago, today she dug a burrow and spent the entire day sleeping in it. Despite maintaining proper UVB and temperature levels, with an Arcadia T5 and basking spot...

My bearded dragon has been in brumation for nearly 3 months, and this is her first brumation. She's almost 1 year old now. During this time, she appears to be in a deep sleep with her eyes closed, taking refuge in her cave. However, she does open her eyes when she hears noise. Despite her...

Hi all, In the past two months, my dragon (Khonshu), who is just over a year old, has definitely had some behavioral changes. He has been hiding in his cave a bit more since the spring, but as of a month or so ago he completely avoids basking almost entirely. The second his lights comes on, he...

Hello! My bearded dragon started showing signs of wanting to brumate around November of this year. Not eating as much, digging in her caves, and not wanting to bask. She did one final poop and settled down. I left her alone, keeping her lights on a shorter cycle. I would offer her food...

Hi! I took my beardie to the vet for her yearly checkup back in February and she got the all-clear for her health. I also updated her Arcadia uv bulb in January. However, she is now starting to display signs of brumation. She is lazier, sleeping longer, staying in her hide, and has reduced her...

Hey all been awhile, so I just got frankie back from the vet and what I thought was recent health issues is brumation. Now ive done reasearch on it and ive read he isnt supposed to eat, I have to make sure he uses the bathroom b4 fully in it, and during the next week or two slowly get his...

Hi guys! I have had my little guy (Eddie) for about 10 months now, he is about 11 months old. I have been trying to get in contact with my original breeder but no response. As this is eddies first time brumating (I think) I am a little anxious. I have done a lot of research but has so specific...

Hi all, I'm a fairly experienced beardie keeper, but our lady is my first brumating dragon. She has a weird brumation pattern. She brumates a long time, but she always comes out of it better than before. She's 4 years old, no issues, healthy weight. 2020: came out 5th jan. 2021: started 21...

Kazoku for the two years he's been alive does something strange around November, December, and a bit of January. He'll refuse to eat once the cold winter days have taken hold of our city, however that's where that detail ends. Kaz is still as alert and active as any other season, maybe vibing...
