What is this thing everyone keeps talking about with the eyes? Sorry to go mildly off topic, but i'm confused about that part
I thought that's what he is trying to do...fresnowitte":005ba said:LuvMyHerps sounds very much like Izzy is getting ready to brumate. You want to give him a really good soaking to make sure hydration is up before he goes out. Some beardies will just doze where others will go out for the count like PVT Blaze he has been asleep for 2 weeks solid already only waking once when I bathed him and went right back to sleep.
Could you elaborate on your question a little more as I'm not quite sure what your asking?DragonsInKansas":11e43 said:What is this thing everyone keeps talking about with the eyes? Sorry to go mildly off topic, but i'm confused about that part
I normally take them out and bath them about once a week to make sure they stay hydrated especially sense we either have a fire in the woodburning stove or the heater on which drys out the air more than in the Summer months. See in the wild I'm sure they would get damp and absorb moisture thru their vents which in captivity they wouldn't. I only offer food to the beardies that don't sleep heavily as with the ones that do sleep heavily I wouldn't want them to go back to sleep with any food in their stomachs that would rot. Checker's and PVT Blaze are my heaviest sleepers they don't even wake when I bath them usually. I remember just how scary it was with Checker's first brumation as he sleeps for months on end an I am constantly checking to make sure he is still breathing. Which by the way when they are brumating it is very little aspirations so its hard to tell. But being this is your first brumation you are going to have to play it by ear on whether to feed or not. If bathing gets Izzy to wake and show signs of activity then it is most likely safe to offer food. If he falls back to sleep before pooping out what he ate then you are going to want to bath him the next day to try to empty him.LuvMyHerps":11e43 said:I thought that's what he is trying to do...
Is it a good idea to wake them(how often) to bathe and try to feed them? This is my first beardie brumation :?
Wouldn't it be nice if they all brumated the same?LuvMyHerps":a3556 said:One more question...will they all brumate around the same time? or do they each do their own thing?
