hi
yep during wintertime they can slow down and not eat so much as they dith before.
i also can be youre baskingtemp measure it ,if its getting colder outside the roomtemp wil drop to and also youre cage without you noticing it.
then they wil slow down to.
also they see not much sunshine trough the window like before and can slow down then .
put light houre on 14 houre so days r long and much uvb/uva light and prefend that.

my dragon has slowed down, his temps havent dropped much but his light levels have significantly, he hides a lot and eats less

Hi
most of time a lower temp can set young beardie into brumation.
thats why i asked him if its stil 110 1105 on baskingsite?
yep if a dragon is adult then even when temp is high and light is intensity is high they stil wil go into brumation you cant stop them then.
but a younger beardie should not go into bruamtion .
