my adult beardie is trying to brumate but i know she has a full stomach...she ate a bowl of greens and about 20 wax worms and hasnt used the bathroom since....i cut back her basking heat about 10 degrees on accident and i think thats what triggered her wanting to brumate.
she slept in her cool hide for about 4 days then i got worried and pulled her out of it and gave her a bath (i kept bath water at 100-105 because i was told to keep it basking spot temp)...she didnt use the bathroom in the tub after like 15 minutes
put her in her enclosure again and she walked around for like an hour then went back in her hide to sleep (her food is removed)
now shes been there for another 3-4 days....should i get her out and try to bathe her again? she has never went to the bathroom in the tub for me, however she used to get a bath then ide put her out in the yard over the summer and she would go in the grass for me...just never in the tub
dont want her to try brumating with a full stomach...not sure what to do from here as far as how often to wake her and bathe her etc
she isnt losing weight (no scale - just going by how heavy she feels in my hand), so i dont think shes sick or anything
