On and off brumation

[Steve1878]

Is this a thing? I thought once she started getting lethargic that was it for a few months but I'm finding she rests up and barely eats for 2-3 days then she seems back to get old self eating loads running around the living room etc but then its back to lethargic again for 2-3 days laid out at the back of her viv. I'm not doing anything different on the lethargic days to the energetic days so it just seems odd. She's about 10 months old so this is out first winter. She's pooping less but that's more because she's eating less than anything else and she still looks completely healthy. Anyway yea is on and off brumation a thing?

Yeah. Some people call it popcorn brumation. My guy has been doing that too in about a weekly cycle.

Hello,

This is very common! Ours go up & down quite often. If they are down a few days to a week
I will check on them to be sure they stay hydrated.
It seems like they all do something just a little different. If she wants to eat a little bit, just
make sure that she basks some to help digest her food.
