Lethargy

Hello!
It's been a very long time since I've had to reach out to the bearded dragon community for help in regards to health concerns, and as kind as you all are, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to come back!! No such luck, lol.

My 9 month old bearded dragon Maisie has seemed to lost all desire to eat. She spends a good majority of her time under her hide on the cool side of her tank. This has been going on for about 6 days, maybe? Typically, she eats superworms, collard greens, and red bell pepper (although admittedly she does have a pretty hard time eating her vegetables). I've been really thinking hard about what could've caused the change in her appetite, because she's always been a really good eater. Recently I rearranged my bedroom and I moved her tank across the room, so light is hitting her tank a bit differently right now. I hear some beardies are sensitive to things like that. Also, I noticed that in her live feeders bin, a lot of the superworms seem to be dying. I didn't throw the whole bin away right then because it was pretty expensive. When I first noticed her acting strange, she was eating and went to pick up a worm, bit into it once, and then immediately spit it out. And while I've never fed her a dead insect, but I'm wondering if maybe the live worms living among all the dead ones somehow they could've made her sick? I don't know, I feel like I'm grasping at straws here. Not sure how to encourage her to eat moving forward.

The UVB fixture does it have a reflector in it? If not I recommend getting one--- this could be a good reason shes not eating --- the reflector will reflect the UVB rays downward toward her and intensify the rays of which you want -- how old is the bulb - its a T 8 I am thinking -- if it is and its over 6 months old its expired -- the distance for it should be 6-8 inches directly over the basking decor --- the super worms I would get rid of all the dead ones and put the lives ones in a clean container w/ fresh bran -- and hydration like a carrot ------ basking temps? what are they and how are you taking them? I see no gauges -- temps should be taken w/ a digital probe --- IR guns will not give a accurate temp off the hammock

Hello,

Can I ask what type of bedding or feed you are giving your superworms? Normally, they are
extremely easy to keep & live a very long time in worm stages. Are you providing moisture
sources for them?
As Karrie suggests, temperatures are very important for overall health & activity. Are you giving
supplementation for her?
For now, until you figure out what could be going on, try to keep her a little warmer overnight,
usually around 75-80 to help boost her immune system.
