Hey guys!
Had my beardie Falcor since March and I’ve never owned a bearded dragon before, I bought her off a couple who said they could no longer look after her (SHE was a HE when I got her, massive shock when SHE started acting really strange and laid 28 odd eggs).
Anyways, she’s started to slow down, especially last week and this week, flat out refusing food, she won’t take kale, or any leafy greens (which she loves) she will occasionally eat a bug (calci worm/locust/cricket), she stays in bed in the mornings even though her lights are on (her bed is in the cool side and she sleeps under a log on a soft, crushed velvet pillow case because she’s spoilt), she’s sleeping A LOT, if I take her out she instantly sleeps, if I put her back in her Viv she will move to the cooler side after about half hour in the warmth and go to sleep. I have been bathing her also as she’s stopped going for a poop in her Viv, she will fall asleep in the water - I live in the UK (Wales) so it is getting cold now, is this Brumation, or should I be worried? Her temps and lighting are fine, just seems to be behavioural changes and I’m a worrier! Any advice on whether this is normal or not would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and she turned one sometime in August, according to the previous owners, and every time she wakes up she’s covered in stress marks?!
