Brumation for Fall?

[CooperDragon]

30g isn't necessarily a lot, it kind of depends on where the dragon starts out. My dragon usually drops 4-5% of his body weight over the course of brumation which is typically around 30g. I also let his temps drop and don't have my CHE kick in unless the house goes below 60 or so.

It was her first ever brumation I honestly thought she was ill or dying till the vet gave me a pamphlet. So I kept her weight and gave her baths a few times a week to keep her hydrated. Then soon as spring came around she was active and feasting on any bug I gave her

But I upgraded all my beardies enclosures heat lamps basking platforms UVB bulbs and switched over to probe thermometers

Yeah they do tend to have quite a lot of energy when they wake up. My guy runs circles around the house all day lol. For hydration, if she drinks from the bath and doesn't seem stressed by it, that's OK. Otherwise if you want to reduce stress or disturb her less you could drip water on her nose from a dropper or plastic syringe so she will lick it up.

My Chubbs loves baths Amber will only tolerate it for so long and wants out lol

True my room is a tad warmer than any other room though but if they need at least 75 then ill try my best

65-75-- dragons like cool and dark when healthy

They both sit on the dark/cool side and warm up when necessary

Keep in mind that during brumation the dragon is mostly in a dormant state. Hydration need only be offered every 2 weeks , if the dragon easily wakes. Otherwise if the temps. are cool + the dragon is solidly asleep, they can go a little longer.
