Going into brumation?

kat1204 Nov 09, 2006 03:44 AM

Hi there,

My male beardie has been spending most of his time at the cool end of his viv and when I went in yesterday he was asleep a few hours before his lights were due to go out.

He does seem a little lethargic compared to normal and isn't as interested in his crickets as he usually is. I offer him greens every day too, but he rarely touches them (Normally has it all over the place after digging through it all for his fave bits)

If this is a sign of going into brumation, what do I need to do?

Thanx in advance.
