Brumation help

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

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
