iv done all the research i can about brumation. i know a lot about beardies and caring for them but im not sure if my older beardie (booger) was brumating or just being lazy. for the last month she was sleeping in her hide spot everyday. now shell come maybe 3 days a week. shell eat some salad and maybe acouple crickets but nothing like normal. does this sound like a normal brumation behavior or is there something else going on with my little beardie?

How old is Booger? babies (until about a yr old) dont usually bruminate. Have you checked her temps and things? What are they and what bulbs are you using??

shes over a year old... shes about 17inchs last time i measured wich was 2 months ago.. the temps range from 70 at night to 110 during the day. i have a reptisun 5.0 uvb that sits 8 inchs above her favorite ledge and just a regular house bulb to light her basking spot

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
