[QUOTE="lunarminx, post: 1952247, member: 106433"] My sister received a baby bearded dragon Christmas eve 2019. Her set up was a thrive 40b front door opening terrarium 36x18x18 kit. I ended up ordering a 12% arcadia T5ho for my anoles as they would hang on the top of their breeze like the uvb wasn't enough. I flipped that and rescreened the new top with 1/4 inch hardware cloth and gave my sister the 12% arcadia. Her basking was 106-100 depending where she was laying. She grew really well and ate really good. Suddenly mid May 2020 she went off all feeders but maybe one or two a week. We gave her reptiboost nightly and her growing basically stopped. When we could get her in the vets in August, everything was great, he said try different feeders. We have anoles also and keep lots of different feeders around for all. Nope, even tried fff, she looked at them like you have to be kidding me. In Sept 2020 early she started running around like crazy, wearing two people out trailing from room to room all over. At this point Puff is about 10 months old, never mated. Most say she was too young to be gravid. The digging started and she would not stay in a dig box so it went in her new home a 4x2x2 zen. Sept 26th 2020 she laid 23 infertile eggs. Three days later she started eating again and has been but slowed down the past few days. She passed another vet appointment, eating well she started growing again. Before she laid she was 363 grams and she lost 42 grams. Puff is gravid again and weighs 409 grams. While she wasn't eating she stayed pretty much the middle to the cool end of the cage. She is following her natural instincts of her ancestors in Australia (Some dragons may even be so in tune with their instincts, that they go into brumation in Spring or Summer, despite being in the Northern Hemisphere!) It seems that she followed Australia's brumation time, she is now following their mating/laying season too. We now fully expect her to brumate again this coming spring. So funny, this little girl! This is the article that helped me understand what and why she brumated compared to others over here. This is her growth record.
