Brumation help

Beardie name(s)
Frankie
Hey all been awhile,

so I just got frankie back from the vet and what I thought was recent health issues is brumation. Now ive done reasearch on it and ive read he isnt supposed to eat, I have to make sure he uses the bathroom b4 fully in it, and during the next week or two slowly get his temps down until fully off, (ive also read a weekly bath is still good for them as long as I support his head above water).

Now the bad news, the doc at my local vet told me to leave all his lights on, dont turn down temps, and still offer him food daily.

Which one is it?

(Also on a side note, how do ik hes not like dead and just sleeping cause when he sleeps he looks dead af)

(And on a side side note, hes very stuborn about getting water from anything other than food)

Thx

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
