Should I Just Let Him Be?

[Aresthebeast]

My beardie has shown the signs of wanting to brumate. He stopped eating and he stays away from his basking spot. The other day he went into his retes stack hide at about 2 pm and the next day was still in there. I stupidly took him out of his hide although he wasn't mad. Given these signs, should i let him be and let him brumate? If so, should i still offer water?

Many debate this subject so I wouldn't be surprised if you get many different answers

As for me and my beardie I just let him brumate. I keep everything the same, the same hours of light and at the same intensity. I keep offering food and water daily and once a week I mist him down just to keep him hydrated. If at any time during the brumation period your beardie does happen to eat then make sure to give a bath the next day and try to get him/her to poop, you don't want the food sitting in the stomach to rot.
