Now, I'll just start off by saying her lighting and temps are fine. Every time I post a question here I'm asked about her lights and every time I list what I got I'm met with approval, so HER LIGHTS ARE FINE.
About 2-3 weeks ago, my 2 year old girl's appetite vastly decreased. She has eaten maybe 3 times in the past couple weeks, even though I offer her food every day.
This past week, she had started sleeping on the cool side of her tank, even inside her hide one day.
I know it's winter in Australia, where bearded dragons are native. But it's 93°+ every day where I live lately, and she's a captive-bred Beardie. I've heard it's possible for them to be so in-tune with their natural instincts that they can brumate during Australian winters/ North American summer. Anyone think this is what's going on? I want to take her into the vet soon anyways, just for a general checkup to make sure she's healthy, but I'm in the middle of moving so that wont be happening for at least another couple weeks.
