brumation

I am a first time beardie owner so brumation is completely new to me. My beardie is around 8 months old, I think she's about 360 grams, and I've noticed for the past couple of weeks she has been hiding around the corner of her tank, not sleeping just laying there, eating less, and pooping less...

Hey! 's me again. I will be getting a bearded dragon within the next month. I'm not worried about costs or stock, etc, I'm mostly just worried about if winter is a good time to get them? I know that they brumate when it's colder, but does this mean that adopting and bonding with one will be...

So, this may just be because of brumation, but I thought better safe than sorry. Paul has been doing great, about a month ago a noticed they made a pretty deep burrow under a piece of wood in there enclosure; she was very fond of it, some times she wouldn't even come out to eat and stay in...

Hey all, I’m thinking my 1 year old male bearded dragon Toast is starting his first brumation. He has many signs of it, but there are a few behavioral things that I’m still a bit confused about so some insight and opinions would be very appreciated! Information about his husbandry: Tank - 40...

Hello dragon daddies & mommies! This here is RIDLEY and he's not acting like his usual self. He has been hiding for a couple weeks and now sleeping in his little cave. He still has an appetite if I put food in front, but won't bask. RIDLEY usually likes to bask, poop, eat, then run outside to...

Hi all! I have an 11 month old (est) male beardie and I'm a little concerned with his current behavior. Now I did move out from my parents (finally!) to an apartment a little over two weeks ago. During the move I gave him superworms since he loves them and he will gladly eat them. He's back to...

I have a bearded dragon that is 13 months old and is a male. He is currently acting weird for him. He is staying in is hide wide awake during the day with no basking unless I encourage it. He is slightly digging in the hide. He will come out for crickets and will hunt them down with no lack of...

This has probably been asked many times but I'm finding conflicting information. Some people say it's normal, some say to contact a vet immediately. So basically my beardie has been slowing down since late May (basking less, refusing to eat greens), and now has been staying in his hide for a...

Hi - I've had my (aprox.) 5 YO Beardie since Dec. I have a Zen Habitats 4 x 2 x 2 with proper lighting and I use a CHE at night as my house gets down to about 60 at night. My question is... he appears to be brumating (he's been in his hide 24/7, eyes closed on and off) for the last 3-4 weeks. I...

My boy is a 1 year and 3 months old he went into bramution and was coming out around the same time we brought home a female rescue since then he has not eaten in about a month what is still a healthy weight all he wants to do is run around and Bob his head I have taken him to the vet beforehand...

We rescued Cheech in mid November. He is about 3 years old and his vet check showed he is a healthy lil guy. He has been going to bed this past week about 2 hours before lights out and today he stayed in his hide this morning, where be is usually up and ready to be fed. He came out once...

Sorry for posting again. I’m not trying to substitute this forum for a veterinarian, but this is my only alternative right now as I am a minor and I’m unable to make an appointment right now. So if you’ve seen my other threads, my 3 year old female beardie named Delta has been having some...

Hi all. This is my bearded dragon’s first time brumating. He just turned 2 in December. He’s been brumating since before Halloween. I’ve had his lights off the entire time with his ceramic heat lamp still on. I’ve seen a bunch of posts from people saying they keep their lights off the whole...

So Pancake decided around late November that she wanted to dig. I gave her her dig box, thinking she could be gravid since she was mimicking the same behavior as when she was gravid before (previously laid 12/1/20 and 2/22/21). No obvious physical signs though. She seemed to lose interest in...

Hi, My Beardie is about 11-12 months old (got him from a petco here and they did not have an exact age). We moved him into this larger tank as his size would dictate around the start of November. When we did he loved the size and was very active and eating. Around the first week or two of...

Hi, So I took in a bearded dragon about 2-3 months ago. Owner was my neighbor and could not longer care for him - she was telling me she couldn't find a home for him and was going to let him outside so I said absolutely not and took him in. Owner told me she did not know how old he was because...

So my adult bearded dragon has had some issues with parasites (flagellates and pinworms) but after doing panacur and flagyl he’s been feeling better. Recently he’s kinda gone into a half burmation state. He’s falling asleep earlier and not wanting to wake up as early. He still has a good...

Hello there! My girl’s name is Ellie and she’s about 1 year and 2 months old. I’ma little concerned about some behavioral changes in the past week. Her tube uvb lights have both been changed within the past 3 months and her temp is 105 in the warm end and about 75 in the cool end. Lately she’s...

I fed my beardie a horn worm about a month ago and he still hasnt pooped! He is brumation and only gets up in the morning to see what im up to. Doesnt have strange behaviour. Sometimes ill take him out and hes just sleep next to me for hours. Im just worried the food will rot in his stomach. Ive...

Hello! First post here :). I scheduled a vet visit in two days to get tested for parasites first and foremost but I still feel anxious having to wait while I don’t know what’s going on. I have a bearded dragon that’s approaching a year in age. I don’t know exactly when he was born, but he was a...
