Brumation question

[kimmyk]

Beardie is currently in a semi-brumation state. This is the first time he's brumated, so I was just wondering if we are supposed to leave them alone when they are brumating? My daughter loves to get him out (at least once a day) and I just wondered if it hurts anything to disturb his brumation?

honestly i think its all on preference. i like to leave nesta is peace but she does need to be loved haha i also do a bath once a week during brumation if not a little more

I think I would leave him be if he's sleeping. If he's just semi-brumating, wait until you think he seems somewhat alert, and use that time to give him a bath and hold him a while before putting back to bed for a few more days. I know it's hard to go without them for days or weeks at a time!

He rarely sleeps, just gets "comfortable" as my 8 year old calls it.
