Do beardies stop eating before shed?

I came home from work today and gave my beardie some crickets for dinner like I usually do but this time I noticed he wasn't eating which is really strange because he usually has an insatiable appetite. This morning he ate about 13 small crickets and for dinner he usually eats about 13 more. His skin is pale like he is about to shed. He is about 2 months old and about 6 inches long. His stress marks have also been a dark gray which is unlike him. He has been active and drinking water when I mist him. He has been pooping twice a day with uric and it looks healthy. Is this normal?

Okay thanks, I'm such a worry wart because Betelgeuse is my first beardie :p
You will be on a very steep learning curve.

I've had pet beardies for about 4 years and am still learning.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
