Merauke first time brumation

Postby rachel-d » Mon Oct 03, 2016 5:56 am

Hi! I live in Maine, USA. It is starting to get colder here. Our Merauke, who we've had for about seven weeks, is usually very active in the morning once his lights are turned on. This morning, he just wants to sleep in his hide. I'm wondering if our cooler weather is triggering brumation, and if so, should we do anything differently? Lower his temperature, or just let him be? Thanks!

It could well be the beginning of his slower period.
Here you can read care info by two different members, including how they brumate (...or don't brumate in my case...) their Meraukes.
