Hey everyone, My female bearded dragon is going on two years at the end of this month. It's winter here in the east cost and I think she's just basically giving me a scare. For the past two days all she wants to do is crawl into her hide (wooden log) yet the temps are fine, myself and my brother mist the cage regularly too when the humidity level is low.
She eats lots of veggies, collard greens, bok choi, dandelion, mustards, on occasion squash, and when I feel like spoiling her I chop of strawberries for her. She eats Crickets (most of the time), phoenix worms, and once or twice a week I give her 1 or 2 super worms. She's always been healthy.
I was reading online and apparently in winter its called brumation? she just sleeps all day lately and like shes super weak... when she finally opened her eyes today I hand fed her some greens and I gave her a nice warm bath as she was super cold when I picked her up tonight super sad.. I hope shes ok and its just the weather....
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!! Should I take her into the vet or is this normal? her cage is 40 gallon, she has the reptisun 10.0 tube strip.... she has a great basking light and at night I turn off all the lights as my house is always 22-24 degrees as I can't stand it being room temp but I was told its fine do I need to buy a small basking light or heat rock or something? anyone got any advice on what I can do... she shedded last month just fine.. but this month she has 0 energy, no apetite, and just wants to crawl into her hide when the timer turns the lights on at 12:00 PM on schedule...
I guess I am just being paranoid and skeptical, but some professional advice would be really helpful. THANK YOU TO WHOEVER HELPS ME ON THIS!
