Brumation (first time owner)

[alcolton]

Evie is less than 6 months old (guessing....I got her on Sept 11th this year and she was around 4 inches long when I got her. She is now about 6.5 inches, but I'm not sure how old she is) I was wondering if she will go into Brumation at this young age. If so is there a website I can do research about it? I'm not exactly sure what it is or how to care for her properly if/when she goes through this process. Thanks for your help!

No, she is MUCH too young to be brumating.

Agree, some beardies will go into brumation under a year old, but they are usually close to adult size. I will warn you that my 5 month old is trying to brumate, but I am fighting her tooth and nail as she is much too small (not quite 10" or 40 grams yet).
