Hey I have a couple questions ?

-What do you do cleaning wise when they are burmating? Like the tank and stuff?

- do I need to bath\feed/make drink

- can I leave a salad for a couple days during this period? And just spray with water so it doesn't dry out?

Usually you dont have to do much cleaning during this time as they dont do much and mostly sit in their hides sleeping rather than running around once they get into burmation. However water and vinegar works well for glass with the rest being able to be cleaned with warm water, dried and then baked at 250f for 30 minutes.

Youll want to bathe them once a week or twice every two weeks, as for feeding personally i fed saturn once a week when he was just going into burmation and now that hes in deep burmation (not going out to bask, walk around, ect just sleeping) i have stopped feeding him.

You could probably do that but youd need to replace every other day or just offer salad every two days. Once they go into deep burmation you dont need to worry about it too much.

My guy just woke up from brumation. I offered drips of water on his nose once or twice a week and weighed him. I offered him some salad but he really didn't want to eat much. He pooped a couple of times over three months but that slowed with the rest of his system. His tank didn't require any cleaning during brumation. They are pretty low maintenance during this time.

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. 😔
