My sweetheart boy woke up yesterday afternoon, had some water dropped on his snout- he lapped it up. Basked all day until 5 PM and wanted to go to bed. I let him sleep on me until 9 PM. Off and on, I checked on him and he had his eyes wide open despite being in a semi-darkness because I have a light. I took him out, let him sleep on me. An hour later, I put him back in and leave him alone. Cover him. I went to check on him and he he's awake. It's 12:44 AM and nearly the whole time, he's awake. Been awake all this time. Is this normal after a week to two weeks brumation? He's very clingy, too.

He hasn't really shown any interest in greens yet. I gave him a piece and he ate one piece. Then decided no more.

It can take a few days for them to get back up to speed. His appetite should start improving

Oh good! The last time, he was awake for a whole month. When there was a cold snap, he ate some greens and pooped, soaked, and went back to sleep the very next day. I only woke him up once for drinks of water. He accepted it, basked a bit, and went back to sleep that same day. Then today, he woke up and looked so lost. He's sleeping on me know listening to some classical music. LOL.

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
