Hi everyone!

Has anyone noticed their beardies brumation pattern switch as they get older? Drogon just turned four. I mentioned in earlier posts that he was extremely picky with food lately. We've been having an unseasonably cool spring/summer here in SC along with more cooler rainstorms. Now I noticed he's been hiding and sleeping for days. He used to brumate from September to mid December. Can they change months??

I haven't noticed it in mine but it would be reasonable to think so. Brumation is triggered environmentally in part plus the the seasons here are opposite of Australia so their biological clock ⏰ is likely out of adjustment 😄

Yeah cuz even with supers he's been like no 😑 do you have any recommendations to keep him comfortable while he's going through this? He's been annoyingly picky and doesn't wanna come out of his hide!

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
