Broomation

[mommy4302]

My beardie hasn't ate in days or pooped. He seems fine,but I was wondering if he is broomating? What is the time when they do that and how long does it last? I just bought a new lamp a few months ago, so I wouldn't think it was that but maybe. It should last 6 months. Any suggestions?

A lot of beardies are going into burmation this month, it could be he cause of lack of appetite. There is a great article about burmation in the care sheet section if you are looking for some more information. The UVB is a reptiSUN 10.0 correct?

How old is your beardie? They normally won't go into brumation until they're adults, at least a year old. If yours is under it, and this behavior just started recently, it could be that he's shedding.
