Beardie first brumation

[paperplanes]

So Dave has been asleep since October ish. I'm wondering if I should attempt to wake him and Feed him or something. I kind of miss him. When will he wake up? What happens if I woke him?

What happens if I woke him?

He will give you a stink eye

Haha yeah I know. I've seen him do that. When should I expect him to wake up? How do I tell if he is sick or anything like if there is something rotting in his belly?

Are you getting him up once a wk to give him a bath to make sure he is kept hydrated? Did he have a good sized poop before he went to sleep in Oct?

After giving him a bath and drying him, put him in his basking spot to warm up then offer him some feeders and greens. If he eats, make sure he goes to the bathroom before you allow him to go back to sleep.
