It seems that all my 1 1/2 year old beardies want to do is sleep...they were born May'02......I assume that they are trying to brumate....anything special I need to do for them.....this is the first brumation I have gone through.....Thanks in advance....

Hi
i would put in lower wats so its not so hot .
also you can put back youre light houres to 10 houres a day.
you can weight them every 2 weeks if they not lose to much weight and then bath them and give little bit water.
and place them back on baskingspot .
byeeee

I have put together different peoples experiences about brumation at my site. You can check there if you like. I think everyone is doing "the brumation thing" differently..!

Look for "Brumation" at the left frameborder.

Brumation

I have some questions about this as well. After reading im posative that my beardie is burmating.

I was not aware of this earlier so I would drag her out of her cave and put her on her baskign spot.

She seems to be eating regularly, should I be concerned about her metabolizme slowing down and causign problems? Or will she take care of herself?

Do I not feed her? Or do I keep putting food out there as long as she will take it? If she does take it, do I make sure she stays under a basking spot for an hour?

This is my first instance of burmation. I have a male that I belvie doesnt even know what the word burmation is! *lol* lil devil doesnt stop moving...

anywho an email or a reply would be GREATLY appreciated.

BTW I did read your site, but i was unclear about a few things as i mentioned above.
