My 2 yr. old beardie wont eat, she has always been a big eat

[AmyN412]

Hi My Beardie Taylee all of a sudden stopped eating. I have had her for a little over a year now, she has always been a great eater, she loved to eat. I live in Pennsylvania and right now it has been in the 20's here for weeks. Her tank is about 10 degrees colder than usual. I am sure this can be a factor. She was seen by a vet about 6 months ago and he said she is Very healthy. Do Beardie's go into ANY type of Mini hibernation? I give her a nice warm bath at least once a week and handle her frequently. She use to love 2 roam the living room, now she just wants to lay on my legs or chest. Should I be concerned about this? Is this some type of hibernation? Please help me, anything will help! Thank You So Much

Love...Amy and Taylee

Hi, Thank You So much! So i guess they do kinda hibernate. How do I feed Tay baby food and what kind? I really appreciate your help. I got her 2 eat one superworm yesterday and that is it. Her Fav. is pinky mice, I am gonna try those this weekend and if she doesnt eat those then she is going thru a winter thing. Thank U so Much 4 your help
