Hi all,
I posted in the health section a month or so ago about my 1 year old boy not eating much and being lazy. Well, it's still going on. He eats maybe 1 or 2 superworms every other day and I haven't seen him eat his greens for well over a month. Once in a while, he'll take a blueberry out of my hand and eat it but then that's it. I'm a little worried he hasn't had any calcium or vitamin intake since I sprinkle those on the greens...but he won't eat it. I've tried changing the veggies and greens up too just to see if that would work and nothing.
My question is, it's Summer....do beardies go into brumation in the summer? He's never brumated before since I only had him for a year (he was only a month or so old when I got him last July). He's not necessarily sleeping a lot, but he does seem to want to stay on the cooler side more and he's just...lazy. He has not lost weight though (that's not for certain without an actual scale but he feels exactly the same) and he's pooing every time I give him a bath twice a week (they're little poos, but they look healthy). I took a poo sample to my vet about a month ago though just to make sure and it came out negative for any parasites.
I've been told on here my temps and viv setup is fine, and I have a good UVB light. Everything has been the same in there for going on 6 months now and it's just been the last month and a half he has not been eating. Could this be a semi brumation even in summer months like this? :dontknow:
