Brumation? Sp?

[jhoel379]

So a little concerned.... Jojo here is about 11 months old. He seemed fine for the longest time and in the last week he has kind of stopped eating... Not moving around a lot... Tonight he ate a whole bowl of kale, drank water, and crawled under this decoration. He has never done this before.

From what I am seeing looking up stuff online this seems like brumation? (Sp). I heard this can happen with bearded dragons who have winter birthdays. Also he has a bigger window that he can see the light from so he knows it’s getting darker earlier. He has 12.5 hours of light each day and has the heat light and the other type. He gets greens as his staple and then supers, wax worms, and horn worms...

I have changed nothing with his set up, food is the same, and then literally when the sun started going down earlier this weird stuff happened....

Is he brumating? Any advice? Thanks!!

Beardies under a year don't really brumate. Since he's 11 months, maybe it could be brumation?

What type/brand of UVB do you have and how old is it? Is it a coil bulb or a tube?
Can you post pics of him and his setup?

I don’t think I can post pics. Don’t have that option. He has his heat lamp. And tube light. They were the ones recommended by people. The tube light was bought when we purchased him. The heat lamp has been the same but the bulb has been replaced on that like 3 times now.
