I posted a couple of days ago that Shadow, my male beardie has been acting very lethargic. He is going to be 10 months old in 10 days. This behavior started about a few weeks ago (maybe 2-3). I read on here that it is possible for a beardie to brumate if it is approaching 1 year old during the winter season... The weather here in New Jersey is around 40 even though it is the end of march... So could he possibly be brumating? I was worried about his lack of eating so i brought supers and he finally ate like 10. The biggest amount he ate in a while. Shadow is around 20 inches now (big ). So is it possible for him to brumate at such a young age? He goes under his log in the cool side alot. And literally sleeps there forever. I have to take him to bask in the morning. But whenever i get back, he is always back under his log sleeping or sometimes just awake in his log. Someone on this forum suggested that i take the log out so he wouldnt have a hide. Is that a good idea? I took the log out today but he still went to the cool side after eating... So i want to know if he is brumating. IF so should i leave him alone, because if he was i feel kind of bad forcing him to bask everyday and taking him out for baths constantly/trying to hand feed him daily. That could've been me just disturbing his brumation period... Should i return the hide log? Do you guys keep a hide log/cave in your beardie's enclosures? Finally i have a question. He is finally 10 months old so this is the age i switch to mostly veggies? If so how many dubias or how many supers should i feed him a day/week? Thanks for responding.
