[QUOTE="Drache613, post: 2045341, member: 8309"] Hello, You have asked a great question regarding brumation, & early brumation. I think a lot of them tend to brumate earlier in the year here in the US but it isn't recognized as that. I have had several who have brumated in late spring/early summer & slept until late fall to early winter. They have all been perfectly fine. My thoughts are that they have an innate instinct to brumate in the wintertime. So, since they are genetically from Australia their instinct is connected to their original heritage. Just my thoughts, but I can't honestly think of another explanation. It is very frustrating since the days lengthen out & it gets warm outside.....but they want to sleep. As long as the weight is stable & there isn't any indication of dehydration or blackbearding then it is usually best to let them brumate. A lot of vets mistake brumation for something else & try to give medications which makes them ill. Do you have pictures of him? Tracie [/QUOTE]
