She probably is in brumation so just close done the tank and leave her be. Good Luck River-7

I think so too. I took her out, bathed her, and after about 20 minutes she pooped. This time it didn't look as hard, only one piece was a little hard (I guess solid would be a better word).

She behaved the same way when I put her back in her cage. She basked, puffed her beard at me, and ran around the tank looking for food. She ate 2 beardie bites and an adult male dubia, then proceeded to dig like crazy. Finally she went into her cave, dug a little, and went to sleep again. I'm just going to let her be for a week so she can sleep.

Augie; What is making me think she's not in brum; is she keeps waking and looking for food. When Barbs; Spike ; went in I believe he never woke for 3-4-months. It's been awhile since I was in touch with her.Worth a thought. river.

Originally I was concerned like you, but read a care sheet from someone that had two beardies, one that just knocked out and another that would eat after baths. And technically I am waking her to bathe her, she isn't waking on her own. She very well might sleep that long like Spike, but I prefer to bathe her and keep her hydrated considering her recent poop issues. :)

Well, you will miss her company that is for sure. Hope it works out for her. I just put baby to bed. I have some pic's but i'm using window-8-and I don't have a clue how to operate it.I bathed my little one today as well and she fell fast asleep on my chest-I hated to wake her but had too -to feed her. She ate well and hunted down her crix; and looked for more so I gave her a few more then she had a little nap after her lunch. River-7

Wouldn't you know it, I woke her up Saturday to bathe her and it looked like she snapped out of it. She basked half the day and ate, before falling asleep on her driftwood end of day. The next day she was up for a few hours but before I knew it, she crawled back in her hide and stayed.

Looks like she's not done yet. :)

It looks like Reggie has decided she's done sleeping for now. She's been up for a few days now, but I didn't want to say anything until she was sure. :)

I have found that some dragon's are very interested in you and some are not.Some are very interested in what' was going on around them. I don't know if you remember little 'Zuess'. That dragon I swear was part human. And 'Lil' Beauty' very interested in everything. And little 'Dynasty' 3-dragons that I found very inquisitive about every little thing.I think the more time and interaction that you have with them the more they respond to you. Very happy for you-river-7

The lights came on in her tank about an hour ago and now that she's had a good bask she's glass dancing like crazy! She doesn't glass dance, as in ever. I have heard that dragons recently coming out of bru do it, but have you heard of one doing it about a week or two after coming out of it?
