Brumation

Not open for further replies.
I have a 2 year old male bearded dragon who may have just started brumating. My only concern is the fat pads and skin look a little malnourished. Also he has been refusing worms/crickets but does eat a little bit of greens (not in front of me, but the bowl is left inside). My question is should I be worried, more sleeping, less eating and looking like he lost some weight? Thanks. Yes Everything In His Setup Is Correct.

The less eating and more sleeping is in line with brumation. His fat pads should be in pretty good shape though. During brumation their weight should remain fairly stable (my dragon lost 4% body weight over 3 months last year). I suggest keeping a log of his weight so you can monitor that and if his weight is trending downward you may want to have a vet checkup.

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
