BMs during brumation

[Remysbiggestfan]

How often should a beardie pass a bm if brumating? He’s not eating and is spending time on the cool side of his tank. He will eat bugs however, just not salad. He will move around if I take him out, but ultimately just looks to hide under something to take a nap (as usual). I’m worried he has a partial obstruction, but he did have two bms last week after I bathed him and gave him water orally. I don’t think he has eaten since then, and I know it’s normal for them not to. So do they not poop during brumation too?
