Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Its unlikely for a beardie under a year old to brumate but its not impossible. Usually if its cold out and they were born earlier in the year you may see it. I see it often if I have a clutch in feb/march i may have a holdback brumate when it gets cold out. Each dragon will be different Is she shedding? What is her current length? Cage temps?

Id try increasing her basking spot just a bit. At her age I tend to keep cage at 105-108 ish. I know some dragons can have a decrease in appetite while shedding but if she just finished up she could just be being picky. Has she been bathed?
I find with worms in general they will eat fine but can get stubborn with other food and need to cut back on worms/treats until she picks up on her main staple again. I have one now if she gets worms too often she wont touch her main staple unless you cut her off for awhile, period. Ive found in her particular case she has fresh greens in the morning through out the day, and gets her dubias/exc in the evening. Shes been on a set schedule now and has done rather well. Raise her temps and keep working with her, tough love may be an option though when it comes to worms :-p I know alot of times juves raised on dubias can take awhile to switch over to crickets, theyve had the good stuff and develope a taste for it lol.
