bearded dragon brumantion

Question
I have a bearded dragon that is about 9 months old and it seems like he might be brumating. Is this common for a dragon so young?

Answer
Hi Bob, It's not uncommon for beardies that are not yet a year old to start brumating. People  tend to report that they start at around a year old but then again most people also don't know their beardeds' exact age! That age became the general rule of thumb but anything around a year is still quite normal. I tend to think that brumation is also a function of size in addtition to age and a well fed 9 month old can be  close to full adult size.
