Hello my beardie (Shorty) has been sleeping now for over a week he will wake up and show his head out of his hide but will not come out. Before i get into details this is only a guess because i bought him as a baby and dont know exactly how old he is i got him in august and he was only about 3inchs long so im guessing hes in sub-adult stage 7 to 8 months old i dont know if this is too early for him to go into brumation and this is also my first beardie but let me get back to shorty prior to him doing this i changed his substrate to playsand which i was told is safe at his age when he first was in the sand i seen him digging burrowing things he never did before but the following weeks he started eating less and becoming less active til he just sarted sleeping for weeks and waking only for a little when he does wake i give him water/nutritional mix calcium and electrolytes so he wont dehydrate and he drinks that but he will not eat he went into a full sleep around the mid of january and he woke up about 5 days ago and i was able to feed him a pinkie and give him a drink but hes back sleeping again hes on the cool side of the tank also so im not sure if hes sick or in brumation i would think him not eating for as long as he has he would lose alot of weight but has lost very little if any so if any one has experience in this can you please let me know if he is in brumation and when can i expect him to come out and if theres anything i should be doing while this is occuring when i did research on these guys brumation never came up once and thats why im concerned also he has had only a few bile movements since this usually when i bathe him is when he goes this is during brumation because i would bathe him when he would awake............. Please Help!!!!!!
