When your ADULT beardie decides it's time is the time to brumate (in NZ, ie most likely starting in April- May).

I'd keep him warm and fed and the lights on a long cycle over winter to keep him awake and active and eating and growing.

Not recommended to let bearded dragons brumate in their first winter.

My 4 year old girl Rex has never brumated , nor shown any inclination to go down for the winter.
Peppa and Toothless (now 13 months old) stayed awake over winter and if anything seemed to become even more hungry and active.

I'm in Newcastle (NSW Australia) and our winters are quite mild cf most on this board and many places in NZ.

I try to keep my tanks warmer than 24degC o/night in winter.

My basking spots are 40degC and my cool zones about 28degC during the days in winter. Can be a few degree C warmer on a hot summer's day.

I maintain a 16:8 light schedule year round (16hrs lights on, 8hr lights off). I believe this is important if you want to convince your pet beardie not to brumate, as well as the tank temps.
