Possibly Brumating??

djfuente Feb 04, 2004 05:11 PM

So this morning I finsihed making a cave for Giblet and placed it into the cave and she goes right into it. I think, ok, she just wants a break I guess...well she has yet to come out of it. She is just laying with her eyes closed sometimes and open others. She ate some before I put the cave in but she hasn't eaten the rest of the day. Is it possible that because I never really had a place for her to hide and sleep that she is now suddenly going to brumate because it is now available to her? Any way to find out?

How old is she? They usually start when they're a year old. My boy has been sleeping since November.. He just stopped eating one day and slept allll day. Brumation is not as intense at hibernation, so they dont go into as deep of a sleep. My beardie wakes up sometimes.
