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

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
