Hello , my first beardie smudge who ive had for over a year now has been very lazy and not eating much recently, i just wanted to know if this was brumation ect (shes about one in age) does brumation usually last this long or not?
Hello....there is a great article on this site about brumation. It can vary from dragon to dragon.
Mine was 10 months old when I noticed her starting to reject her favorite foods. Within two weeks, she wanted to sleep out of her lights and in her hide. Long story short, she slept for 3 1/2 months. I woke her every two weeks to hydrate her and weigh her. She would sleep in her tub as well.
So the answer to your question is, yes.....brumation can go on for quite some time with some dragons. Just keep an eye on Him/her to make sure there isn't anything going on health wise. Good luck and keep us posted.
im havin the same issue with spike, all he does is sleep in his cave decoration, not had a poo in ages and isnt eating, im a bit worried but keep reading that this is normal... scary but normal, spike is about 10-12 months too
