Hi, I have a 1.5 Year old Male, he has not eaten anything for about a month, He seems to be sleeping a lot but he is not always hiding in his cave. His weight seems to be good, His eyes may be a bit sunken but that could be in my head and his color is a bit dull/pale. He did go to the bathroom yesterday which was the first time in a few weeks. I am hoping it is just Brumation and not a sickness. I have read a lot so i am not sure you guys can add anything but figured Id post.

It does sound like brumation, and if you're able to track his weight (with a gram scale), and he's not losing a lot, then just try to keep him hydrated. Try a warm bath every few days to a week.

Well We woke up today and he was face down in his water dish ( Not deep ) and he has passed, His weight appeared to be about normal for him which appeared to be healthy I am not sure what happened , He did not appear sick or I would have taken him to a vet and now I feel terrible.
