My bearded dragon has been in brumation for 6+ months

[PayPay24]

Hello,
My beared dragon has been in brumation since thanks giving, it is now February and she hasn't come out of her cave to eat, poop or socialize like she used to. She is 14in long and is normally active, I would let her run along my the couch next to a big pane window so she could get natural sun and she would run amuck the house. I would watch her so she wouldn't eat anything and she doesn't have any parisites or anything like that but she does move on a daily basis in a circle like motion cause she sleeps curled up. She has me extremely worried that something is wrong.

Sincerely,
Payton

Has her weight decreased during this time? It's important to keep an eye on their weight during brumation. Significant weight loss could indicate illness rather than brumation. When they brumate they slow their systems down quite a bit and their activity decreases to varying degrees but their weight remains relatively stable. A few months of brumation (Since Thanksgiving) isn't all that unusual.

Thank you I will weigh her and see if she lost wieght. I'm new to this and my parents have been constantly been asking me if she's dead because she hasn't come out

Hi Payton....do you mean brumating 4 months ? End of Nov. to now is 4 months. Still, that's way too long for a young dragon....is she 14" with a complete tail or is it nipped ? How old is she + how long have you had her ? And you say that she's walking in circles ? Can you get a video of it ? That can indicate a neurological condition. If so you'll need to have her seen by a reptile vet that is very experienced with beardies. She probably has some serious calcium + vitamin deficiencies.

Just a little added tip: They can't get any uv from a window if it's closed. UV can't penetrate through glass.
