Hello, I have a female bearded dragon that I got when she was about 6 months old and was a normal dragon. After about 2-3 months of owning her we realized she went into a sort of sleep which at the time it was winter so we suspected a brumation. After the winter pasted we went into spring and summer and she still never moved, picked her head up or ate. Another winter passes and still no movement despite 24/7 interaction, bathes and trying to feed her EVERYTHING. Now fast forward to the present, she has started to eat superworms which we are switching to grubs but she still only wakes up when put outside then brought back in to eat after that it is straight back to bed. We bring her outside and she wakes up and picks her head up and even walk a little bit. It was bad walking at first but with being fed and taken outside daily she is getting better. Bad part is right when she is brought back in she goes right back to head down and eyes shut. Even outside she will let me flip her upside down with little to no care. We want to breed her due to her amazing colors but we cannot until she is "alive" again. She currently has a UVB bar across her tank with a 100 Watt powersun and 100 Watt red heater. She has the bar on morning to night with the red heater. Hot side is about 100 and cold side is about 80 (Fahrenheit). Even when put on the hot side she always climbs down to the cold side. We are not sure what more we can do at this point. We are replacing the UVB bar in her cage and getting grubs for her and just crossing our fingers so hopefully we can breed her late winter to spring. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
