Hello,
I'm happy owner of 12-14 months Randy.
He went to brumation on mid November with weight 350 gramms. Was not eating, pooping, I was bathing him once a week for 10-15 minutes in warm water and giving him a drops of water on his nose. Starting this week he's not sleeping, almost awake. He spent 3 days basking and ate 1 dubia roach and 1 blueberry.
But right now he still is in cold area hiding.
I just don't get where is that moment when brumation ends. But I don't want him to continue brumation since he has food in stomach...

How long it takes to quit of brumation for them? Right now it's one week, but it looks to me he's still passive and want to sleep more. Or it's something else.

Forgot to mention: his weight was 350 gr. And after 3.5 months it's 338 gr. That should be good.

Enclosure: 45x45x90.
New Arcadia T5 12%
Hot area: +35
Cold area: +26
Humidity: 40-50%

Should I be worried about one big roach and one blueberry in his stomach? I will continue to bath him, maybe eventy it will come out, but...

I will bath him again in a day, want to hydrate him back to normal, but unless he shows signs of real problems, he doing nature.
