I have read up on Brumination and it seems like this is what is going on. I am worried about him though. Is it ok to wake him up and give him a warm bath? Also if i do wake him up should i feed him? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply :). This is my first winter with him being an adult. It is scary when they do not get up for days on end.

He's probably going through brumation. Mine is going through light brumation right now. Here is a very good page about beardie brumation I found: http://www.exclusivedragons.com/Brumation.html. You can give him a warm bath and feed him if you'd like. Anything else you need to know is on the link. Good luck.

Some dragons sleep for weeks at a time when in brumation, others go up and down. If he looks awake, a gentle warm bath is a good idea. Keep his heat and lights normal, and feed him if he wants to eat.
A good article about this can be found here:
