So bearded dragons hibernate in the winter. It's called brumation. Fat Boy has been brumating for probably 3-4 weeks solid, and before that he woke up for a week when I fed him a worm. Before that he had been brumating for a couple weeks solid. Every once in a while he'll open an eye, but I am careful not to disturb him because I don't want him up again. Anyway, I had thought Big Red was too young to get into it, but I had seen him digging in his sand for a few days. Finally today I see him asleep under a log. I just dug out a cave hideyhole out of my junk last night, so I think I'll put that in there for him. It's cool to see them follow their instincts, but what am I going to do with all these worms?
