Should I let my littlest beardie bruminate?

cerra Jan 07, 2006 04:42 PM

I've got three beardies, all of which are 7 months old. The male is 17 inches (has an extremely good appetite and will eat just about anything), the larger female is 14 inches, and the little female is 11.25 inches (very picky eater who won't eat live bugs, but likes pellets and leafy greens).

They're all starting to bruminate, and i'm not worried about the bigger two, but i'm not sure if the little one has enough fat on her to get her through. They're all very healthy, have lots of fat on their tails, clear eyes, eat well, are very active (usually), etc. Although Torch is small, her tail and legs have a lot of fat on them so i think she should be fine, but i'm no expert. Advice? Should I seperate her and raise the temperature in her tank, or let her get some rest?
