Hello

I am just wondering how comon it is for beardies to brumate i have read/heard a wide variety of things.
My two yearlings have started to eat a lot less veg in last week or spo but still eat crickets/worms like no bodies business. I stopped feeding insects for a bit to see if they were just filling up on that but still not eating that much veg. Used to empty their bowls every day now leaving about 1/2. I try to give them a mixed diet with a staple of curly Kale or dandilion greens and then different veg/fruit depending on what i have. They also seem to be pooing alot less used to be every other day now once or twice a week.

However, they still seem to be reasonably active. They seem healthy, bright eyed hydrated etc.

Are they trying to brumate or could it be something else? Should i be worried?
