Every beardie is so different, some go down for months, some a day here and there, some for a week here and there. There are so many way for a dragon to slow down. We have one sleeping beardie, Sweetie, she's 3 yrs old & it's her first time for so long.Almost 3 weeks. Lonzo, who's 6, will sleep for 2 days, then get up, etc, it's like he can't miss anything that may happen in his territory. Rubio is 14 mo, he's down for a day for two, then's up eating; he's almost 22" long and 760g. Issy's same age as Rubio, but smaller, they're our babies, Issy is sleeping today, but yesterday she was up and active. Angel is our rescue with MBD, so even though she's getting healthier (she never had UVB & was 16 mo old last March.), she's not allowed to sleep the whole day. She still gets liquid calcium treatments and daily baths. She can go to sleep earlier if she wants, she's gained enough weight for that. But she still needs to work out in her
bath (the kitchen sink). Sorry to go on, it's been fun watching them this year. You should read the article on Brumation, it's very through in explaining a few types of brumation. Most dragons slow down alot when fall hits, especially those areas that have low temps. But every beardie is so different from every other one. Your beardie will find the brumation style that suits him and that's what he'll do. Just make sure, if your beardie sleeps more than a few days, that they get a good 20 minute soak in the tub every 4-7 days. For Sweetie, we do every 4 days. She's used to being in 20 min daily swims.
Good luck with your beardie and brumation, hope their season is short, so you can still snuggle.
