Good afternoon sorry if I waffle on but I’m panicking and trying to get all and any information on here even if irrelevant. Also I’m I’m based if that helps any and this is my first beardie.
My bearded dragon reggie is 14 months old and has been brumating for about 10 weeks. I came home 3 days ago ( had to take my 18 year old back to army base so was out around 4 hours) and my eldest had gone out leaving the central heating on, I came in to find reggie had woke up and was looking around as if to say “ hi mum” I did as I’d read and lights on immediately she had a soak then wolfed some Dubai’s down. She had her usual cuddles and relaxed in her housing watching tv as if brumatiin never happened. The next day she went back into brumatiin mode straight back to where she had brumated and was digging before going to sleep, she’s since then woke up but not moved and not shown any interest in anything. She doesn’t drink water and hasn’t since owning her when she was around 6 weeks old so we ensure we soak her and that her Dubai’s and her greens are gut loaded and misted etc.
I’m now worried the heating temperatures woke her before she was ready ( it’s currently 40f maximum during the day here) and her enclosure is set to 68f day and 60f night the day the central heating was left on pushed my home’s temperature to 100f.
She’s eaten and not passed a bowel movement so I’m scared she will become ill from brumating with food inside her. I’ve continued with her lighting as if she was awake to try help her digest her food but I’m at a total loss as to what to do.
Any help would be amazing as where I live is a tiny village in the middle of nowhere that only has farm, dog and cat vets nothing for reptiles unless I travel approximately 2-3 hours.
