i was wondering do i have to hibernate my beardies,stimson & diamond i'm not breeding them this year.
my stimson is only a few months old
i think my male beardie is starting to he's sleeping alot
what temps should i set up
 
Brumate. ;)

No to cooling the stimmy. These guys should be kept warm until about 1-2 yrs old.
If the diamond isn't a hatchy I'd say it'd be good to let it brumate, usually temps of about 20 are best for this but because it's a diamond they'd be able to take lower heat comfortably (so maybe about 15-20 degrees?).
Not sure on the beardies as I've only had experience with blueys.

when should i start to burmate the diamond?
do i feed as normal before i do this ?
it take's about 2-3 months is that right?
should i put him in a tub or leave in normal enclosure?
so many questions sorry i did google it i got a care sheet but the guy is from U.S.A different times for winter & different climate
 
Sorry for not replying sooner...
You should start to let your diamond brumate when the temps start to drop in your area (which should be soon).
Don't let his temps drop if you've only just fed him though, give it until he passes his last feed before you do this.
You can then start to bring him out of brumation when the temps start to incline in your area.
Leave him in his normal enclosure. :)
