Cricket Brumation Question

[brunetteoctober]

cricket has been brumating (sorry about the spelling) since the beginning of November. his patter was, sleep 3 to 5 days then wake up for one. while awake he eats and drinks a gallon (exaggerated, but a lot) of water. lately he's been awake for a few hours every night, but refusing to eat and not drinking anywhere near as much. i want to make sure this is ok. he doesn't look malnourished. he doesn't even look like hes lost weight but he hasn't eaten for a few weeks. despite his tantrums... you know how it is.

Some blueys don't eat a thing for the whole of winter. Sounds like he is behaving in a normal way. I am seeing less eating and activity from Tattoo as we are in the heart of winter. I am trusting him ... I think his natural instint will guide him along no matter how much I fret so it's all good.

My skink, Blue is doing the same thing now. About 7PM every night he wakes up and digs in the corner. I will put in a small amount of food for him, just in case, but he has yet to eat anything, save for 1 blueberry.

Sounds A-ok -- our typical behavior here is sleep for days, big gulps of water and then back to bed.
