A month and a half is rather short brumation..most typically brumate for 2-4 months. My dragon has been brumating for about two months now and showing no signs of coming out. Last year she slept for about 4-5 months.

ALso keep in mind that dragons do have a good sense of smell so if your females are giving out 'ready to mate' pheromones he will smell them, especially since they are in the same room.

How long are your 'days' for your male dragon?

Also, dehydration could make a dragon look a little lighter but really no way to be sure how much grams he lost without weighing him. It is virtually impossible to guess the weight of a dragon by visual cues. Besides a little weight loss isn't unusual though I would be worried if he lost more than 30grams in the short time he was brumating.
