Bruminating brumation

[Candybugs]

Whatever it's called it blows Hef doesn't eat now. I put him in his tub I've always fed him in and he looks at me like he's never seen a cricket in his life. He ate appx 100 crickets 4 or 5 dubias and a good bowl of salad a day now a bite of salad at best. It's been a month already how long is this gonna go on.

I hear ya I will be glad when Izzy comes out of her hide on her own and devours her dubia's like before... I can get her to eat at least 2-3 juv dubia's and sometimes a super and a bit of her greens.. Before she would down countless dubia and look at me for more.. My thing is trying to figure out what greens/veggies/fruit she likes.. I want her to get a good variety..

I agree brumation sucks on us humans.... waiting ...... watching..... wanting our dragons to come out and not look like sleepy doopy slugs

how long? depends on your beardie. My last male would go to sleep for MONTHS. My current guy is out for a few days, then semi-up for a few days, and repeats. My girl is just as much a sloth now as ever - sometimes she eats some worms, sometimes not. greens - hardly ever, but she has taken a liking to cucumber. sometimes. I know that there are some beardies who never brumate. like i could get that lucky !!!

I shred cucumbers over his mustard greens for the water and flavor I shred apple too today he has raspberries too. He ate one piece of raspberry so far. I'll try crickets in a while.

Luci sleeps for a few days then comes out and gorges on superworms and then poops and goes back to sleep!

Artemis did a bit of in and out for a couple weeks, but has now gone fully under. Took her out for a bath yesterday, dried her off, then she went straight back to bed. Sad I don't get to see her and hold her, but the good news is my cricket bill decreases for a bit!

Yea still don't know what Izzy is doing.. I can hear ya on the decreasing the cricket bill they can be expensive (I raised them, getting them online is way cheaper in the long run) I just sorted thru my Dubia and took out 160 baby nymphs!! Since Izzy is not eating much I'm lowering the temp slowly so they slow down some, but I've got alot of plump females soon to burst I'm sure.
