Hibernation? Should I feed?

So I know your not supposed to feed your tegu if he's going to hibernate bit I'm not 100%sure that's what my tegu is doing. It's more like brumating. He's slowed down, not eating anything and will sleep for 3 days. I thought he was going to hibernate because he went down for a week but then he was up for 4 days. I haven't fed him in 2 weeks and I'm a little concerned he's not going to go down completely. Should I feed him?

If he can heat up, no harm in offering food especially if not fully down for the winter.
