Spring is on it's way.
 
How do I know? My bearded dragon woke up. He's been asleep for the past 2 months and he woke up yesterday. He does it every year, just goes under his log and doesn't come out again. I touch him to make sure he's still alive and that's it, he sleeps and we have what looks like an empty tank sat in our lounge. Yesterday, he came out looking refreshed and hungry, so spring must be round the corner. Or he just got hungry. :lol:

How lovely Wendy...your own little weather forecaster. I didn't realise beardies do that in the winter. I bet it's lovely having him awake again. :)

I didn't know they did it either Emma.The first year we had him I thought he was ill and kept waking him up and putting him under his lamp but he just went back to sleep. My daughter has a friend with a beardie and he said they do it every year. His has just woke up too. I don't change anything in his set up, the lights still come on every day, he just doesn't come out from under his log. The only problem is, I don't know when he's going to wake up so my regular order of crickets backs up. I have had to feed them to my chickens, they don't seem to mind though. The chickens not the crickets. :lol:

It is lovely to see him again. We were all gathered round his tank saying hello. He just yawned and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.:D

It's clearly very natural for him to do that then and at least you know that's normal for him each winter.
I bet Cosmo is going to enjoy basking and getting stuck back into his crickets. He must be hungry!

That's very interesting, I do believe spring is in the air :) one of my adult horsfields was banging on her lid to her box when she was hibernating in the fridge on Wednesday, when I looked her lid was half off so I got her up, she must sense it too, although not quite warm enough outside :) x
