Dragon hiding, posible Brumation?

[mysticfae]

Hi! My little girl Pine-Sap is about 6 months old. a couple of weeks ago she discovered that the rock she sits on top of, is also a place to hide! at first it was cute, she would sleep under the rock at night and i would have to get her out in the morning to let her warm up and feed her, but its been going on for a couple of weeks now and she will hide a LOT during the daylight hours. She just finished a shed a couple of days ago, her temps are at about 100-105 on basking site, and 75-80 in the cool zone.

any ideas on what brought about this new behaviour? she doesn't have any parasites, and her appetite is very good - about 20 crickets a day, a couple horn worms or silk worms a week, and always fresh veggies and water available (although she has no interest in the veggies). she also gets a bath every other day.

she can't be ready to hibernate right, she's too young!

thanks for any and all replays!

Even though she is young I would treat it as Brumation, if no health issues have been present. She could be an early bloomer!

OMG my dragon Rufus does the same thing for the past couple of days. She is in the corner resting while Milo also hasn't really moved at all she's been on the basking rock slouching looking limp for the past few days. It probably is brumation as my bds r 3 yrs.

Thank you, i am going to watch her for another few days - see how she eats, because her appetite is still good. someone at the pet shop where i get crickets suggested to move her rock around so she can see when the light comes on, so i am going to try that. hopefully she won't brumate until next year - I'm not read for it yet!
