Hello,

Does this sound like brumation to you? My beardie, about a month or so ago, started to just lie around. He doesnt bask, he just stays in his rock cave all the time. Doesnt eat, doesn't move, but isnt losing any weight. He was perfectly fine and dandy before and then one day he was like this.

If I actually drag him out of the cave myself, he will eat some salad and crickets or superworms, but then just goes right back into his hide. he wont come out on his own to eat at all. Is he brumating? I mean, he sleeps at night and is awake during the day, but doesnt leave the cave. If he is in fact going into brumation, should I take him out every so often and give him a bath to make sure he is staying hydrated? Thanks (and sorry, i know there have been many posts lately on it!)
