Almost 10 months old, could it be brumation?

Our dragons are eating less and hiding in the corners (face to the wall) dozing during the day. They never usually sleep in the daytime. Could they be brumating already?

Yep! PVT Blaze went into a full brumation last year at only 7 months old. And Checker's my oldest male did his first full brumation at 8 months.

I'm in Cali an all but one of my beardies is acting that same way.

Have you read the brumation article to help answer some of the questions you might have about brumation?

Thanks so much for replying! I think they have stopped growing (not just during this, but a few months ago), so it seems like they may be full size for them - they had very small parents. I'm off to read up!

I'm having the same issue with Lexia(almost 8 months) and (Thoth 3 yrs). Their lighting and their temps are 100% spot on and they have been napping alot and trying to hide and sleep alot during the day. I didnt expect this for another few months.

Glad I found this. Lilly's been doing the same thing (sleeping some during the day, hiding all day, only eating 1/3 of what she usually does and only every other day). I've been told that it's fine for a 9 month old to brumate, but I sure didn't expect it. My 13 month old is showing no signs of brumation, though.
