So as it is winter here I am aware that most Bearded Dragons will hunker down for brumation.
However as me and my husband (the owner) are worried about our Beardie going into brumation too young. She is 6 months old and we read that they should not be brumating until they are 12 months, but our Beardie has been noticeably much less active these past few days than she usually is.
She shows no sign of illness or anything but she is avoiding the warm end of her enclosure (around 90-95°F) prefering her hammock on the cool end (76°F) most days. She still eats for us (Dubias, BSFL, Superworms) but she’s been showing less interest in her BSFL and Superworms that are fed to her 1x a day for 5 days. We offer her mixed greens and slivers of yellow squash but she shows very little interest in that too, only eating little bits.
We give her warm soaks 1x a week (Tuesdays) but we are trying to avoid disturbing her too much while she is showing this inactivity.
Is there anything we should/shouldn’t be doing during this period? Should we be trying to prevent her from brumating since she’s too young? Or should we just leave her be?
Sorry about all of the questions 
I haven’t owned a Beardie since I was a small child and my hubby is a first time reptile keeper so we just want to make sure we are doing the right things for our girl and this whole brumation thing.
Crappy lighting photo for tax lol
Edit: Update She’s back to her usual self today. I realized that while she was behaving like she was brumating these past few days it was also pretty rainy and dreary outside, I wonder if maybe there was something about the weather other than it being cold out that was affecting her… maybe barometric pressure changes? Today its been really bright and sunny out with little cloud cover and she’s very energized acting like her chaotic self again.
