Not eating/shedding

My beardie has recently just done a full body shed, that had taken place over about a month. It's now been around 2 months maybe more since this happened and there is still a small section on her tail that looks like it needs to shed and around her mouth has started to shed again.
I wondered if it's normal for her not to eat for this amount of time? I wake her up weekly for a bath and pop her back in on the warm side. Other than me doing this she is never up and never eating..
I don't want to force feed her tho incase it causes parasites cause she's never in the warm side to digest.
Would be good if anyone could give me some advice cause I'm getting really worried now, don't know if I should take her the vets.

She may be brumating, if so this is the sort of behaviour they display although every beardie is different. Keep an eye on her weight, she will lose some but she should drastically drop in weight. How old is she?
