My beardie started hiding all day and night not coming out to eat. If I removed him he would finally eat and get in the best. I removed his hide thinking that he is just in it because it was there. Brumation from what I read does not start till almost spring. he acts fine outside of the hide but once in it will not leave. Should I keep it out or put it in just at night? Help!
Brumation occurs during the fall and winter usually. How old is your dragon? If he's an adult, then it could be brumation starting. If he's still a baby or juvenile, chances are that it's something else (dragons don't generally brumate until adulthood).
In March he will be 2. Is that too young to brumate? He was out of his hide on his own for about 2 hours this morning enough to eat and poop. Now he is sleeping again. We have had him since April so this is my first time with him during the winter.
