I am a first time beardie owner so brumation is completely new to me. My beardie is around 8 months old, I think she's about 360 grams, and I've noticed for the past couple of weeks she has been hiding around the corner of her tank, not sleeping just laying there, eating less, and pooping less aswell. I figured out she'd likely started brumation. She does tend to come out of hiding to eat, but as I mentioned this is my first time having a beardie, so it'd be extremely helpful for me if I could have a few questions answered to make sure she stays healthy during this time if she is actually brumating.
-How do I know if she's really starting to brumate? Should I take her to the vet to figure that out?
-How often should I feed her, and what should I feed her?
-Should I keep her UV light on (it's set on a timer) and I'm looking for a new one, so what would be a really good UV light?
-What's the best way to make sure she's hydrated?
I really just want to make sure I don't end up hurting her in some way if she is going through brumation, I hope these can be answered
