Hello,
My beardie began to change her habits some time in September. She began to sleep all day and not come out of her hide to bask. Slowly, her eating habits have decreased down to barely anything. She used to eat veggies and greens and tons of crickets. Now she barely every eats greens and will only eay crickets every few days. She also quit pooping every day. The amount of time in between poops has also grown. Sometimes it can be 4-5 days until she'll finally poop, and that's only because i'm bathing her. She also use to shed a lot and now hasn't done that since this behavior began. I got her 8 months ago and they told me she was about 6-8 weeks old, which would make her about 10 months. However, the vet told me that for the size she was when her saw her, she had to be older than what the vet told me. I'm thinking she could be up to a year old or maybe slightly younger. She is now about 16 inches long from head to the tip of her tail. I'm worried that she's not eating and not growing. I've read about brumation, but is seems like it's very rare to brumate under a year old. Does anyone have any opinions on this?
