I personally have never cooled immature indigos, just so they would continue to eat well and grow over the winter. But it seems logical that you may want to do it. They may reach maturity a little slower, but they would probably be good breeders and, being used to the cool downs, less likely to contract respiratory infections than if suddenly exposed to cool temps as adults.
I've had a few adults get infections when cooled for the first time.
I've been lucky that they were easily controlled with mild antibiotics.
I'll be interested to hear what others have to say about this...
