Well I believe my beardie went through brumation from last October to May...
He would poop once a week and a couple times it was like 4 weeks in between. He just wanted to hide all day. He might wake up, have his eyes open, but would just stay in his hide, and nap in between...and go back to sleep.
I heard from my breeder you can just leave the lights on. I think I put the lights off for a couple weeks at one point before I asked him.
It would be up and down. He would usually get up once a week, bask, poop, have a couple bugs, bask, and I would give him a bath/water for 5-10 min and that'd be it. He would go straight back to hide until next week...
I recommend spritzing/syringe bottled water along their nose and see if they want to lick any up.
My beardie came out of brumation the very next day after I gave him (some) coconut water and Repta boost as I felt summer was here and he was still lazy. It fixed him up good. Both products have electrolytes. Don't know if it was coincidence or not.
It's not that bad, you'll be fine.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
