Beardies not burmating

[zabeardie]

Hello again,
I have two two-and-a-half year old bearded dragons, but neither of them have ever burmated. Is this normal? I have looked on a variety of websites that say that your beardie should burmate when they are about 1 year old; Is this true?
I am also wondering what the signs are for burmating. I looked it up but no sites say any signs, they just say "your bearded dragon will burmate when he/she is about one year old". Is there anything I can do to make sure they are healthy?

Thanks,

Not brumating isn't a bad thing, don't worry. Dragons usually do it in the wild, during winter when it's cold and food is scarce. Since our pet beardies are not in the wild and they have plentiful food and nice warm vivs, some might still feel the instinct to brumate and some might not.

This article should help if you haven't seen it already. It's awesome! http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/brumation/
