First off I've been lurking and reading these forums for over a year and have gotten so much help on setting up the terrarium, getting the right lighting, not rushing her to the vet thinking she had tail rot (just darker tail tip) and building my own from an old desk. So just wanted to say thank you to everyone here!
My query is this: my beardie (Lettie) is almost 1 year old and acting oddly. This winter she appeared to be brumating. I know they don't usually do this when they are under a year old but all her temps checked out with the recommended ones in the care sheet. She stopped eating and kept trying to hide from the light and slept all the time. That was for about 2-3 months and she was offered food, bathed, etc during this. Currently Lettie is suddenly very active but still not really eating. I had been offering dubia roaches and she hadn't touched those or the greens but ate 13 crickets when offered those one day. Since then she is basking and generally running around the house but still not eating. She will also blackbeard on us when she is left in the terrarium and glass surfs but when we get her out she gets happy again. She drinks water regularly and doesn't appear underweight. So I'm running out of ideas! If she isn't eating then I can't give her calcium/multivitamins and I worry about MDB. Hopefully someone can give me some insight before I try to find a vet...

TLDR: done brumating but still not eating and gets agitated
