My bearded dragon is year old woke up from brumation two weeks ago for past week he’s been anxious to get out. He’s nonstop pacing searching for away out.
He’s normally very chill and hasn’t been handling too much, I’m working on it.
I gave him a bath yesterday it calmed him down but today it’s back to freaking out.
I read this can happen due to hormones after brumation. How long does this last?

Depends of the dragon --- hes got the spring zoomies -- get him out for like 2 hrs and then watch his behavior when you put him back in the tank

Hello,

This is somewhat common. When they come out of brumation fully, their hormones are pretty high & so
is their energy so they may want out a lot.
They definitely like to run around to get exercise but eventually he should start to calm down! It could last
for a few weeks to a couple of months or so, it greatly varies.

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
