- Beardie name(s)
- Buddy
Hey! I'm sure some of you have seen me in other threads and I have another question coming at you guys. So I've noticed that Buddy, my beardie, has been kind of lethargic lately and she hasn't been interested in her food or trying new foods like she used to. I noticed the lethargic behavior just a few days ago and the eating behavior longer than a couple days. I figured it was brumation but I thought that beardies start brumation in winter or anytime near those days. I've noticed that Buddy has been in the "downstairs" floor of her enclosure (which is in the dark), she doesn't get excited about her food as she was about 1 or 2 weeks ago, she doesn't want to try the foods I'm giving her as a treat or snack such as a random green anymore, and she's been laying around her enclosure. I've also noticed that when I take her out of her cage, after and hour or so she finds a dark place to fall asleep, and so i put her back in her cage. Another thing is that she hasn't been climbing her cage mesh like she used to, which I'm not complaining since it's helping her with her finger, but I was guessing that could be part of the behavior. Other than that she's been normal, enjoying her baths, when I take her out she starts off exploring normally and excitedly and yeah. Is it brumation? Is she just lazy and getting older? Should I be concerned?
