Is it normal for my beardie to still be brumating? She hasn’t ate in a while and hasn’t came out to explore her new 2x2x4. Is this ok or should I be waking her up?

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
Since early December and no, I’ve woke her up some and got her to eat a lil and she basked then went right back into brumation.
They can brumate up to 3 months - I wouldnt let it go any longer than that- get her out every couple of weeks and offer water - get a weight on her and keep track of it - weigh in grams kitchen food scale -

Hello,

What is her age right now?
The average time for brumation is usually around 3-5 months but most of the time we don't let brumation run longer than 4 or 5 months. It greatly depends due to
the age & condition of the dragon.
If you have an adult who isn't losing any weight & has
no health problems a little longer brumation is fine.
As Karrie suggested, it is always a good idea to bring
them out to weigh them & hydrate them if needed during
the brumation phase.

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
