I am almost certain my baby dragon is trying to brumate. Ziggy is going on 6 months and ever since I moved Ziggy into their new habitat, they haven’t been the same. At first I assumed it was just adjusting to the new habitat. Now I am not so sure. Its been over 3 weeks since I relocated Ziggy.
Ziggy is super lazy in the mornings. Typically hiding all morning and afternoon. I try to keep them active and move them to a basking spot as often as I can. Sometimes they will stay on their basking rock for a few minutes, hour max on a good day and then will go hide/sleep all day if I let them.
I know it’s not too hot on the basking spots as Ziggy will stay on their rock for 5 hours in the evening mouth open sometimes. Is it possible my young dragon is trying to brute? Ziggy has had two fecal test in the firs 90 days I have had them. Both test were fine. The most recent about a month ago.
What do I do? I do not want to risk their growth and health.
Here is how Ziggy has eaten her the last few days. This isn’t normal for them.
Saturday: Very few bugs no Veggies
Sunday: No Food at all
Monday: Had veggies, no bugs
Tuesday: No veggie, maybe 6 bugs
Wednesday: No veggie, maybe 6 bugs
Habitat information

-Air Temps are 88- 90°F on the left (warm side) and down to 79° on the right (cool side)
- Air Temps are a little lower than normal as if I raise the air temps to much, the basing spots will be way too hot.
- Basking temps ranging from 113°F to 95° (Ziggy has multiple basking spots)
- Two Reptisun T5 10.0 UVB lights covering 2/3 of enclosure
