Both males and female dragons brumate though its not usual for young dragons, under a year old to do so.



It is possible your male is entering brumation but I don't want to simply assume so before I learn more about your setup. You indicated he is keeping his eyes closed more than usual, does he keep his eyes closed alot during the day? Dragons should have their eyes open all the time during the day. Babies do 'nap' during the day but should come instantly alert at any noise etc.



The younger female who isn't eating regularly or pooping, could be having other issues. How long have you had her? What are you offering her to eat and how often?



Are both dragons in the same cage or in separate cages? What are the temperatures (basking and ambient/cool side temps), substrate, cage size, etc. The more information we have the better we can assess the situation.
