Your baby beardie shouldn't brumate. The adults you need to adjust their light times on and off. But the babies I would just keep the lighting/heating the same and feed him the same.

Yep, really nothing needs to change if your dragon isn't brumating. If your house gets below 65* at night then you should put in a heat emitter but thats it.

alright ty guys i know he is ghoing down for the winter but it gets really cold in my room (since it was made from the garage it gets down to 45 in the winter) so was just wondering if the diet or heating should change during winter for a baby/juvi

Since the room gets so cold at night during the winter, you will indeed need to get a ceramic heat emitter. You may possibly have to increase the bulb wattage of the heat bulb as the temps cool off during the day too. It's always a good idea to check the temps as the seasons change and to also make sure you are using an accurate device, either an infrared temperature gun or a digital thermometer with a long wire & probe end. As long as the temps are good so that he can digest properly, there is no need to change the feeding at all, continue to offer all the live feeders he can eat in about 10 to 15 minutes twice a day and have fresh greens available all the time. Does that help with your answers?
