Brumation Care?

Hey guys. So I'm pretty sure Chubbs is now in brumation. It's been 5 days since he pooped and about 4 or 5 since he's eaten any of his roaches. I'm pretty sure he's been eating a piece or two from his salad every day because it's on the ground when I come home from work. Two days ago I got really nervous and made him eat about 1mL of baby food along with some of his vitamins mixed in water. I'm pretty sure at this point though that it is brumation and that he isn't sick. My issue is that we just started treating for pin worms and I don't want them to hurt him. So, should I keep force feeding him through this and giving him vitamins or should I just let him do his thing?

Hi there.....how big is he and how much does he weigh ? Did he stop eating when you began the meds. for his parasites ? That can happen at times, or his lack of appetite can be from the worms themselves. He is not in a true brumation, so keep feeding him and since he's on meds. it would be good to get some probiotics like Benebac, Acidophiliz+ or soy yogurt [ not dairy ] He'll probably be fine.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
