is my beardie brumating or is she sick?

My bd didn't have a clue. She went to sleep. Then after 2-3 days she woke up. So i restarted all the lighting again. She was really docile and didn't do much for about a week after she woke up and then decided to go back into brumation again. So i shut everything down again. This tine it was for about a week. She woke up yesterday. Its her first time so she must be confused i guess.

It happens and not much you can do about it. Dino has woke up out of Brumation 3 times and stayed awake for 2-4 days and then back in Brumation. He is up once again right now and looking like he wants to go back to sleep. He hasn't eaten anything so I guess it is lights out once again. It is weird and normal and very frustrating to have a pet that just sleeps all the time. I hope Keena doesn't do this but if she does then so be it.

I thought they only did that in the winter.... not spring time.

I'm guessing that our summer ( uk) is Australia's winter. Being on the other side.of the world and where they come from. Could be wrong. Mlim just guessing here. Lol

We control their seasons, so fluctuations in temp & day\night lighting schedule can trigger brumation at any time of the year.

good info here. My son's beardie hasn't eaten any salad in a couple days. She had crickets on Monday. Has been in her cave most of the last 2 days. She hasn't been pooping very regularly but after talking to a local breeder I reduced the size of her crickets and put in a new UV bulb since the one in it came with her and we don't know how long it's been there. Had a huge poop Monday morning. Like I said, very little activity since. I was thinking brumation, but wanted to ask here too. What do you guys think?
