My dragon has never brumatied and he’s 4 is that strange or normal?
Some don't do a full brumation, they slow way down, barely eat, get even more lazy than normal and nap a lot.

xp is correct. sir henry is 3.5 years old and has never brumated completely. every year he does turn into a lazy couch potato though, doesn't eat much, hides a lot, and in general does things that worry the hell out of me! but in the long run, he's just being a normal dragon and i have to tell my mind it can shut up!

Hello,

They sure are different from one dragon to the next. There have been some dragons that are 5 or older
that have never brumated while some have gone into a brumation phase at 6 or 7 months of age.
I am really not sure what the causes would be as to why some do or don't but as long as they are healthy
that is all that matters!

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
