Possible Brumination

[KarrieRee]

But hes eating and he ate alot --- how often is he eating like that ? And its good hes eating a variety - I would mix your greens up adding some collard mustard turnip and some kale - and keep feeding the rocket - here is a website for nutrition http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html-- how are his poops ? So he is roughly 10 months old - so I guess they say semi brumation is not unheard of for that age - I would not be concerned as long he is eating pooping and basking and hes doing all of that -- keep track of his weight tho and if he does continue to lose weight then I would make an appt for a check up-- and one way to tell if he has parasites is if his poops are real runny and stink to high heavens that they are driving you from the room then that is a sign of parasites as well - you want his poop to be firm moist and dark and urate firm moist and white -- some times they might have extra liquid too and that is good as that is a sign of extra water

He is only eating when I wake him up, he's not coming out from his hiding place of his own accord and that was the first meal he'd had since Thursday where normally he would eat twice that everyday and be out basking or lying under his basking log the rest of the time but visible. His poo is on the soft side but formed and moist. It smells if he eats locusts but not so much with the dubia so thinking it's not parasites. I will weigh him every few days and see if I can get him up to bask and eat at least once a day. Thanks again for your help
