[QUOTE="GojiBerry, post: 2011094, member: 117230"] Jeff is 8 months old and is showing signs of brumation. He saw the vet in early November where he was diagnosed with parasites and given antibiotics. A recent stool test showed this is now clear. They have done a blood test and we are awaiting the results. Jeff is not interested in food, doesn't get out of his hide in the morning but is happy to sit on his basking rock when I put him there. He'll stay there for a couple of hours and then mooch back to a hide or his favourite corner. Food wise he will occasionally take a waxworm or two from me but he's not interested in any more than that and he won't entertain locusts, dubias or mealworms and he positively looks away from his veggies. The vet said he is nice and alert and certainly put up a fight when she was taking blood. I asked whether this was brumation and she said it could be; that he's on the young end but it's not unheard of for a dragon of his age to go through this. I should also mention that our UK weather changed from warm and bright to dull and cold at about the same time so I don't know if this is what has made him change or whether it's merely coincidence. So my question is do I assume this could be in brumation and stop getting him out of his bed in the morning and just literally leave him to do whatever he wants? This has been ongoing since early November. He hasn't lost any weight. He's 17.5" long and weighed 354g last week. We are first time beardy owners so haven't experienced this before. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
