beardie parents
BD.org Sicko
My Rosie turned 14 last June. She has been a brumater for most of this time since she became an adult. I have noticed that it may seem like she's asleep but may not be as her eyes are closed all the time. She does eat but lately she has only had one small carrot but today she didn't eat anything. I am in a learning faze because of her age and her being a brumater. Does anyone on here have any experience with a brumating beardie at her age? I am not sure if I should let her sleep or wake her up and feed her. We never know when she will wake up or not. A year ago we went on a vacation and left her home because she sleeps the whole time. That year we found her on her basking rock with her eyes closed. So this last year we took her with us and she enjoyed her time with us and her little sister (Lil Squirt) . A while back I picked her up (thinking she was asleep) and found a black beard on her chin so I realized she was awake and she ate a lot off and on. Now I think she's wanting to brumate but I really don't know if she is or not. I have never had a brumating beardie until Rosie, nor one who lived this long so I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with a 14 year old senior that is a brumater. I appreciate any thoughts.
