    Juvenile brumation or something else?

    I got my charmander when he was roughly 5months old(end of Oct). For the first month he was a great eater and very active and pooping daily. Around the December I started noticing that he was pooping about every other day to every third day and not eating as many bugs. By the end of December he...

    Beardie brumation concerns

    Hello everyone! I am very new to keeping bearded dragons. Although I never thought I'd have one, a friend of mine is no longer able to care for him, so I have adopted him. He is approx. 4 year old male. I live in Europe, and temperatures started dropping, and I assume my beardie is going into...

    Possible brumation? Is my dragon okay?

    Hello! Me and my fiance adopted a 3-4 year old named Lucy around June this year. She has always usually been a bit weary about us handling her, but likes to be on our shoulders once she realizes she's stable with us and is gradually remaining calm more and more each time. She also loves being in...

    Is our Beardie sick or brumating?

    Our bearded dragon is 14 months old. He has always been a picky eater but he would always eat something of what was offered. He is always offered greens which he doesn’t always eat but on his good days he ate them most of the time. He likes blueberries. He also eats discoid roaches, mealworms...

    I need help. I cant tell if he is entering brumation or is sick.

    Hi I have a bearded dragon named Earl who is about a year old or so and he recently stopped eating entirely and just laying under his hammock. He has eaten about 2 hornworms in the past week and a little bit of greens but now he only stays under his hammock not moving at all. He doesn't seem to...

    Bearded dragon not eating. Is it normal?

    Hey, my bearded dragon, Freddie, just woke up from a brumation that lasted for around 4 months (it was his first). He was eating for about week and a half now, even did a poop. But all of the sudden he stopped three days ago and is avoiding the basking spot again. Is it normal? Should I be worried?

    Semi-brumation? 11month not eating much since Dec.

    Looking for some ADVICE, please! This is my baby Bagels. Since Dec 2021, she hasn't really been eating much! Not interested in her Dubia roaches (staple bug), meal worms (treats), OR her greens (collard + mustard), which she used to enjoy! The ONLY thing she seems to go after now are hornworms...

    Lethargic dragon

    Hello, just thought I'd post and see if anyone has any experience with this. My beardie is almost a year old now, and he's been quite a healthy boy thus far. But over the past few days I've noticed he's been hiding on the cool side of the tank, and not eating much. I would give him a bath and he...

    Is something wrong with him?

    My bearded dragon has been just sitting in the corner for a while now, and I don't know if it's brumation because I have read about that and things. So I don't want to force feed him and have it mold in his belly. I wanted to ask to see if anyone knows whats going on. It is currently winter here...

    Dragon going into brumation - need some tips!

    Hi I'm a first time reptile owner so you may have to spell things out for me, sorry! My 3 year old dragon has become very sluggish. She usually rips into her locusts but didn't touch them when they were placed into her cage. She's very sleepy and for a while I was worried she was sick. However...

    Brumation no substrate?

    hello all, I was thinking about beardie brumation today and was wondering if they could brumate without substrate? We have three of ours on laminate flooring in the tank and last winter they were in dirt. Just wondering if they can brumate without substrate? (I know this is an early question...

    My beardie isn’t well. I’m very concerned

    My beardie has been in her hide and only comes out for food. She’s about 8 months old (don’t know for sure), so that’s too early to brumate, right? I’ve also read that it could be a growth spurt, but it’s been going on for about 2 1/2 months. I’m really concerned. I’ve let her hide, just to see...
