Brumation - Who, What, Why, When and Where?!

[Razaiel]

Thank you very much I shall probably take them to visit vet anyway before the breeding season - just to make sure they're in good shape.

A couple of weeks after I got her my beardie Izzy dug herself somewhere to lie and sort of dozed for 2 weeks. She had previously fed and poohed and then stopped both. I have put a 100W spot in as previously had a 60W and my place might be a bit colder than her previous home.

Anyhow, over the last 3 days she has slowly been geting more alert and this morning decided she would get out her hollow and eat, even chased down a hopper.

Good to have her up and running

He's new and boscs are naturally shy creatures. He won't be brumating - he'll just be scared and hiding away from you. Give him time to settle in and don't try grabbing him out or anything. Trust is the thing you need to build up with many monitors - after a while they get curious and come out more.
