Ok so the little brat is STILL sleeping :(

He went under a about 2 mths ago now, he's too YOUNG, he will only be a year old in July. However I know he is OK since I was waking him up everyday and feeding him, he would only eat 1-5 roaches instead of his normal 10-15 but atleast he was eating, then I read I shouldn't be doing that since the food can rot in his stomach since he wasn't basking at all. He sleeps soundly under his log and if you wake him up boy oh boy you get some dirty looks, lol

I have been waking him weekly to give him a soak and I did take him to my son's preschool for a little presentation with the kids but as soon as I brought him home, he went right back to bed :(

Once he's awake he is happy and normal, he's not losing any weight at all and I actually woke him up last week and let him sit in the nice sunny window, thinking the real sun would make him want to stay awake, he LOVED it but when I put him back in his enclosure, he crawled under his log and was sound asleep again within minutes.

What am I supposed to do :( I want Moose to wake up, it's Spring, he needs to enjoy the sunshine. Should I leave him be to wake on his own? Or should I take out his log so he has nowhere's to hide (it's nice and dark under there) His temps are still right on, his light is a Repti-Sun 10.0...you guys all know what his set up is so I don't think it's anything like that.

I've even been looking for a second beardie, LOL Im having such withdrawls without Moose!

That is all depending on how your beardie responds to doing that. When mine go down they crawl under there blankies and I cant wake them up. So I myself don't. It sure wont hurt doing and you could even do that like once or twice a month. There body`s are are made to reserve the body fluids during brumation. Just my 2cents hope this helps ya.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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.
