No I am not we got an adult at the pet store and it is in brumation ( we found that out 1-2 months later) and it was then to late to take it back and right now we are deciding if it is to much care or if I should just take care of it and if it is to much care I will sell it to someone who is obviously much more experienced I am definitely not trying to cause it to brumation I’m very sorry I must have stated the question wrong.
Are you encouraging the brumation? It’s not something I typically recommend encouraging. Low temperatures may be a cause so raising the temp, eliminating drafts, etc. is what I would suggest to encourage eating, etc. If that fails to encourage him to eat, drink, and defecate on his own, I would recommend a physical exam and consult to make sure you’re doing things right as far as husbandry. You probably know this but make sure you’re provided UVB light and change the light bulb every 6 months.
Just try to increase the temperature. Depending on where you’re located I can recommend a vet that sees bearded dragons who could teach you everything you would need to know.
I agree with Dr. Knouse – Please try to prevent brumation.
