Brumation I have a page about Bearded Dragons where I write facts and my own experiences in owning dragons. I often get questions about brumation and I find them a bit difficult to answer, to tell the truth. There seem to be so many different “methods” to do it. Some people just leave everything “as it is” and some people make a “big thing” out of it. How do you brumate your dragons? Can you please write down how you brumate your dragons and I will make a “brumation section” at my site and add “your way” too. I would love to have many different opinions and methods. Please? Follow the link below to see my site, so you know where I will add your input. <a href="http://www.morion.com/teo/" target="_blank">http://www.morion.com/teo/</a> Thanks!
Usually mine will just start slowing down. Actually she is starting to brumate right now I think. It usually happens when the temperature outside of the enclosure(and inside) are cooling down. The beardies realize this and start slowing down. Eventually it is like hibernation and they will just sleep. Of course you just leave some food in with em to nibble on(they don't sleep constantly you know) and some water and leave em to sleep.
I just let my dragons do their own thing. I've had them brumate while sitting on the basking branch at 100 degrees and I've had them burrow into the substrate and close the opening behind them. I've had free-roamers spend a month or more crashed out in a closet or under a night stand. I've never been able to force a brumation on any of my dragons, they just decide when it's time and that's that...
Thanks for your reply! I am working at the swedish version of the "brumation page" right now, so I will tranlate your answer into Swedish. Then I will of course also add it to my English section. Thanks!
