Hi all, my beardies woke from brumation about 2 Weeks ago, but neither have eaten greens or bugs yet. They haven't lost any weight, but does anyone have any idea how much longer their not eating may continue, and if there's anything I can do to help?

They have full access to greens and bugs in case, but so far haven't even looked at them.

Cage:
4x2x2
12% Arcadia UVB bulb, 10" from basking spot
Basking temp: 39.5°C (digital probe thermometer)
Cool temp: 23°C
Substrate: tile and blankets

Food:
Greens: Rocket, spring greens, squash, carrots, pepper
Bugs: Dubai roaches, Phoenix worms (bowl in cage)
locusts (offered 2X a day)

Are they active? It can take a bit for their metabolisms to ramp back up. I've also noticed that they can have other priorities for a while and may ignore food. I would just keep offering food on a normal schedule and let them take what they want for now.

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?
