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.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
