Brumation Worries ?

[Soulwind]

So, this is my first full brumation cycle....

Rico stopped eating and started sleeping back in early September.
Mellow followed suit about a week or so later, middle of September.

They both get woken up and given a hydration bath once a week.

Within about 10 minutes of me putting them back on their basking areas,
they've gotten off and crawled back under their blankets and are fast asleep again.

So it's now been around 2 1/2 months of no food and all sleep.
Rico has lost a total of 5 grams in weight (he is currently at 445 grams).
Mellow has lost 20 grams (current weight 402 grams), but she was a bit chubby to begin with.

I see a few threads here and there about people's dragons already waking up.

My question is: At what point/When should I start getting worried about them?

I'll be watching this thread to get that answer as I'm experiencing the same thing with mine.. wanted to by.p the thread, but won't even pretend to have that answer..

beardies DO lose weight during brumation, and may not feel like eating because of their instinct to just go sleep, as your beardies seem to be showing. they should be getting ready to wake up soon, maybe try increasing the temps in the tank just to give them a kickstart on "oh hey, it's warm again"

but don't take me word for word, i've only had one beardie and he's having his first time brumating also lol
