She has been sleeping for at least a month now off and on but she is not interested in food or water at all. I kind of forced some apple juice and water mix on her yesterday..She will not drink if I mist her at all. Im kinda at a loss as to what to do so Im asking here.My other dragon is also sleepy but still eats on occasion and looks much better than her..

they might be brumating and i think that they dont eat or drink much since they are really sleepy and all

Yep - the dragon looks fine! It sure sounds like brumation!! Let them go on their own, as long as their fat pads dont sink in there is nothing to worry about! When they go into brumation, their metabolism slows down, and they stop eating and drinking and go into a deep sleep!
