how big (are the crickets ? the roaches ?)
how many do you SEE him eat of each per meal , are you keeping a record of this ?
show us the feeding diary extract for maybe the last month.
Have you tried other insects ?
Im not keeping a record
the light turn on at 06:00 and 07:00 im let him eat about 10 min. Always put one insects, when him catch im put one more, if beardy wont run and caching food im take insects back.
beardy insects ration : Blaptica dubia, Nauphoeta cinerea, acheta domesticus, gryllus bimaculatus, gryllus assimilis and zoophobus but the zoophobus is fev time per month. Size of insects i think about 2 cm.

Is he grazing on the salad or just leaving it to wilt and dry out ?
I suspect if he looks full, he's filling up on the veg and salad and you need to adjust the salad schedule to get him to eat more insects and adjust the mix of veg & greens you are giving so there are mostly high protein , high calcium.
I'd hold the salad back til later in the day.
salad is changing every 1 h, so they don't wilt and dry out. Beardy sometimes really love and eat salads, but maximum times he leave them to wilt and dry out.. so i always must change it to new.

2.93/1.86 = 1.57
Reptiles who are healthy have serum Ca/P > 1.5
do I understand correctly that you are good indicators? my veterinarian says it is too really to high for beardy

High ALKP levels also indicate an issue related to the bones , in some cases, high ALP levels can indicate heart failure, kidney cancer, other cancer, mononucleosis, or a bacterial infection.
is there at least one way to improve the situation? if I want to use it...

beardy always get batch one time per meek, for 15 minutes in 30-34 celcius water. from that moment i made
bath for my beardy twice per week, or need more?

I think you need to be careful with the dragon's diet ( and do something to boost it's blood calcium and
hydration ) . More live gut loaded and dusted insects , more leafy high calcium greens and more veg.
My vet says, calciums is to high in blood and I have to reduce its amount to the animal. but i beleave more in you.

Is he showing any physical symptoms ? other than not being interested in food ?
nope, only not interested in food.

This will help you work out other husbandry issues causing the lack of interest in food : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=236150&p=1815390#p1815390
This will help you get some food into the dragon with assisted feeding :
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=249501
if it wont eat , you have no choice but to force feed it at least 2x per day , I'd do 3x per day as small portions so you don't overload it's kidneys with a sudden boost in protein intake.
You might need to start giving it liquid calcium , this will help boost it's serum calcium levels , this product is excellent and reptiles take it orally very readily because it's sweet tasting.
Calcivet : is a liquid Calcium and Vitamin D3 supplement for addition to water, soft foods or for direct administration in times of emergencies.
Direct oral dose: 0.2mL per 100g body weight.
thanks, now i try to study thanks links which you shared with assisted feeding and other. Really thanks!
Tomorrow go to pet shop and try to bought liquid calcium.

Please show us the lights and how they are setup. Low levels of UVA can result in a lack of appetite in a reptile.
Low levels of UVB will mean dietary calcium is not metabolized but instead is excreted.
my lamp parameters - 10% UVB, 33% UVA.

And one thing I see as a problem right off, multi vitamin 5 days a week is going to be a serious overload. Cut those out totally for at least a few weeks. When you DO start back, just once a week slightly dusted.
Thanks, Multivitamins from that moment cut totally.
