I have a male bearded dragon going thru his first brumation. He is a yr old and was very sick when I got him. My daughter bought him at Petco who never explained how to care for him properly. She didnt know to put calcium and Vitamins on or in his food. So he had early stages of MBD. Which he over came and is fat happy and healthy. Im the one stressing out about the right and wrong things to do during the brumation cycle. So once I slowly took his Uv & basking lights away do I just keep in total darkness and in a quiet room and let him do his thing? I know to check on him once a day. And still offer him a lite veggie only diet. And I can only bother him for his baths 1 or twice a week. I did hear that Im suppose to take him to a exotic reptile vet to have his poo checked (for parrasites) first to approve the brumation. But what if I dont have a reptile vet near me?? So thank you for ur advice and I appreciate all ur help!
