My female is about 7-9 years old (we don't know how old she was when we got her). Usually when she brumates, it's rather light and she may wake up occasionally or is at least easily woken up and it only lasts a few weeks at most. This time she has been sleeping for a few weeks now and is very into it. She's extremely exhausted and fatigued and doesn't wake easily; I can pick her up and put her wherever I want and she won't even open her eyes if I'm careful (she's not usually such a deep sleeper). She doesn't act very active when she does wake up and is also very lazy/fatigued. Once she got up and ended up sitting at her water bowl, where she seemed very sleepy but was kept awake by the fact that there was nowhere to rest her head, so I had to manually move her somewhere that she quickly fell asleep; so I'm worried about her being so tired that she doesn't even want to move even though she's clearly uncomfortable. I make sure to keep her hydrated and she'll still be alert/hungry when I offer food, and hasn't been losing weight. She's just sleeping much deeper/in longer increments than usual. The only significant differences between her environment this time vs last brumations is that we've moved from an elevation of 600 to 1200 ft and finally got her off sand and onto carpet. Should I be worried?
