So, I think *think* my bearded dragon is going into brumation but I'm really paranoid because she's not in the best health.
She has MD so she has troubles doing lots of things and she's been in her hide for about 28 hours now. I know that I'm not supposed to but I got paranoid and poked at her until she opened her eye, so if she is just brumating I just prolonged it.
So my question is, how can I keep an eye on her to make sure she's not *dead* vs brumating without bothering her? She really doesn't look like she's breathing but I've read that their breathing slows down when they brumate. She's 3 years old and the previous owners didn't mention if she's ever brumated before, I guess I'm just asking how often and how I should check on her during this time
Thank you!
