Faranth is an eight month old, central bearded dragon. She has begun displaying signs of brumation (not eating much, daytime sleeping in her hide basking, sleeping in her cool side hide, yesterday she stayed all day I'm her hide).
basking: 109°f
warm side: 90°f
cool side: 82°f
Forty gallon breeder
UVB: ReptiSun 10.0, confirmed to have UVB via a Solar Meter
calcium and vitamin supplementation.
super worms and dubia
Collard greens
every other daily baths because she likes to poop in the tub
Mild pinworms, only found one ova on her last fecal slide, too small a concentration to feel the need to give Panache, planning to recheck in three months
She's 17 inches and 365 grams
My question is: Does anybody have suggestions for how to nudge her OUT of brumation?
My worry is that she's still very young and growing. I am not fond of the idea of her brumating because she still has protein and calcium needs. She did eat two supers yesterday but not greens, so I know she came out of her hide at least once. However, she was always in it and sleeping otherwise.
The day before yesterday I spent the whole day taking her from her hide and placing her to bask.
