Brumation at the age of 1 year?

[Rwtf8]

Terrarium: 90x45x45. Arcadia 12%, 100W heat bulb (basking spot has +40, cold area +25). Daily food: dubia roaches with supplements (Ca, Ca+D3, Vitamins), greens and fruits.

Advice for feeding schedule

Hello! Finally I got my delivery from Amazon and can provide a full supplement feeding for my bearded dragon. He's getting 5 months old, weight is 73 gr and here is my plan how to feed and bath him. I'd like to stick to this plan until he gets 1yo and would like to ask you how does it look? I...

Hey there!
My Randy has started to be slow, passive and has no interest to food and greens. He's about 1 year old, weight about 300 gr. He refuses to eat and drink, but looks good overall. He's trying to dig from to time
Is that possible that he wants to brumate at his earlier age? If so, are there "options" to avoid brumation?

Is he a he for sure? How often is he digging? He could be getting ready for brumation -- they will dig to make spots more comfortable for them to sleep - my males do it often -- as long as your basking temps and UVB is good then it could be possible brumation coming on --- incorrect temps and UVB will mimic brumation - are you using a Arcadia 12% bulb and is it not over a year old - distance should be 12-15 inches inside the tank --

Not 100% sure that He is a He. He was spotted digging only today, but last 1.5 weeks he behaves really different, rather than previous 6-7 months.
I'm pretty confident in enclosure conditions btw, posted it here a months ago as well. Arcadia 12%, 6 months old tube.
So, just in theory, can it be a brumation at his age 11-12 months? And can vet say it for sure?

Thanks for this info!
He's 350 gramms and I figured out that he wants only blueberries for some reason
Poop looks like this and he do it only in water (bath him twice a week in warm water).
Btw he basks almost all day long and stays for a 1/3 in a basking hot area. Usually I take him out for 20-30 minutes to let home explore sofa (it's not cold there) and today he was curious, but still not much active

Ok so pull him off the blueberries they are very high in sugar and can lead to diabetes --- hes needs fresh salads every day http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder -- insects 2-3 times per week -- dusted alternating w/ calcium D3 once per week and calcium w/ NO phosphorus and vitamins w/ beta carotene once per week - if hes a good salad eater you wont need to worry so much about the vitamins hes gonna get that thru the veggies if hes not a good veggie eater then use the vitamins --
HIs poop should be dark formed and moist - urate white formed and moist - hes got good urate going meaning hes hydrated but the other part looks kinda funky

"ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder"
Sorry for my English but does it mean it IS a good stable feeder or should I ignore that?
Kale is available this time of year everywhere and green list salad as well. But he has no interest in that. As for dubias - sure. Original schedule was calcium every day at mornings (5 roaches) and no supplements after lunch. CA+D3 2 times a week + once a week Vitamins which also has D3. I can reduce D3 to once a week + Vitamins in Sundays.

So you advice no sugar? As for blueberries, carrot and other sweet stuff - I used to give him such things only once or twice a week. Blueberries in particular - 2 times a month

Fruit should be fed occasionally blueberries good 2 times a month -- look at the nutritional guide I posted for you it will give you some guidance on diet for them -- yes kale is a good staple feeder --- you will haft to try different greens to see what he will eat --- dandelion greens if you can get them --- carrots are good IF your not feeding them to your insects --- too much Vit A -- try and lure him to that salad bowl w/ some BSFL www.symtonbsf.com order large they are a great staple feeder DO NOT dust them --- use a glass or ceramic bowl so the BSFL cant get out of it -- feed them first thing in the morning on top of his salads --- hand feed them to him a few then add to the bowl in front of him so it gets his attention
