I have had my Bearded Dragon for 9 years now and she has been just sleeping for the last month, no food or nothing. It is super hot here and she goes into brumation Oct-March for the last 8 years. Is she dying because of old age?

She could be just getting old or maybe it is something simple.......
When was the last time you changed her UVB?
What are the temps in the VIV (hot, basking and cool side)?
what has the outside weather been like?
Thanks

Changed the light 2 months ago, all the temps are correct and the weather is in the 90s outside. Same as every year before, that is why I think she is dying.

If it were me I would try another new UVB light.
There have been some issues lately (mainly aroun dthe MVB bulbs, not saying you are using one) and maybe the ones you are using are not putting out enough.
