Is this a weird brumation cycle or just an odd dragon

We got Spock in May from petsmart. She wasn't doing well for a while and then we got her a bigger home (went from 20G to 40G breeder) and she perked up and grew like a weed. As of Early Feb she was 15.5" long and 296g. She has some nice rocks and a log in her tank (all stuff from the local exotics pet shop), a reptisun 10.0 tube (it's 24" in length) and a 150w heat bulb aimed at her largest rock where it connects with the branch/log. Her cool side temps are roughly 75º, the warm side bottom of tank is usually around 81º and her basking spot is 100-105º
We think she tried to brumate few weeks ago. She climbed behind her cool side rocks and didn't move for a week, she'd just pooped the day before settling in so we weren't worried. After a week we gave her a bath to keep her hydrated and offered her some food. She ate some salad and 3 dubia roaches (about 1" long each) and a butterworm, she basked and seemed to just stay in her basking spot for 2 days. We bathed her again as our usual routine was to bath her every other day for 20 minutes. She then went into her tank basked without moving for another 2 days, only eating bits of salad. We gave her another bath but no poop since before her first week of sleeping. She then went to the floor of the warm side and slept for about 5 days, woke up has been moving around her tank more like she used to but it's been 4 days now and she will only eat 2 bites of salad and won't take her dubias and wants no part of the butterworms anymore. I bathed her again today, and she ate 3 superworms, but still hasn't pooped, and it's been almost a month since she pooped last.

Were those 2 week long sleeps brumation, I thought she was a little young for that. I did weigh her and she was down about 7g. I'm thinking of ordering some phoenix worms, as she used to really like those before we switched her to dubia.

Going into brumation now seems a bit weird this late. Harley has finally come out of her winter slowdown this past week or 2 and is back to eating like a machine and being a spazz. Harley went down for her winter slowdown at around 8 months old. Usually its around a year old but its not etched in stone so some go in sooner, some don't go in at all. Is the UVB tube old/need to be changed? That is weird she went down, then popped out and then went down again. I would definitely watch her weight and maybe someone else will have more helpful info.

Sauzo, thanks for the response. She's our first dragon so we weren't sure what was up with the down for a week, then up, then down. Now when she was up she wasn't very active which was odd too. We're keeping close eye on her weight.

Her UVB tube was bought on Nov 10th, so it's about 4 months old.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
