Bearded dragon not eating
So my 8 month old bearded dragon started acting weird around the weather changes that happened about a week ago. She went into hiding and didn't bask for 2 to 3 days. When she went back to basking she refused to eat crickets that were fed to her. This made me think that she was just sick of them and wanted another feeder so I bought dubia roaches as well as meal worms and hornworms. Today she ate 2 horn worms out of my hands and is running around perfectly normally and even pooped on the floor in a healthy way but she refused to eat any roaches or mealworms. I thought it might be a temp or humidity thing but I'm sitting at 104 to 110 on the basking spot and 75 to 80 on the cool side of the tank. I also just got a new uvb bulb which is an arcadia T5 pro at 12%. She is also in a 120 gallon 4x2x2 tank and is shedding on one arm but has never bothered her. anyone else seen this? Thanks!
