What's the temp in the basking area? And as for handling the beardie; Avoid making any sudden movements towards him as this may spook him and make him feel threatened. Carefully slide your hand under his belly. If you are picking up a baby, keep one finger under the chin. It will hold onto the...

He might be just going through a mood swing. How long has he been like that?

I've been giving my beardie crickets. I think crickets are the most popular food for lizards. And sometimes you can give him other insects like grasshopper, bamboo worm, or even a pinky mouse. But don't pick anything from your garden since we don't know where they've been or what they've been...

If you're giving him a normal sized mealworms that should be ok. I sometimes give my beardie mealworms and he's been alive for 3 years now. Just don't give mealworms daily since their exoskeleton are hard to digest which could cause impaction on your beardie. And your beardie got no problem...

My beardie has been acting like yours until I moved him to a bigger enclosure (100x40x40 cm). If your enclosre is big enough for her to roam then she might be into brumation. They will look sick and can get us paranoid.

I think you need to watch for the humidity level in the enclosure. I read that the humidity needs to be around 30-50% to mimic their original habitat. If the humidity is too high I heard a beardie can have respiratory problems. I personally don't use any water bowl and don't spray his enclosure...

If you want your crickets to live longer (and less smelly), try keeping your crickets in a salad drying bowl. The point is to separate their poo from the enclosure. So make sure there are holes on the under side of the enclosure. And to make cleaning easier you can put abit of water in the outer...

As mentioned above, young beardies prefer live food. But if you want to, maybe you can try slipping in a vegie into their mouth while they're munching their live food. At least it worked with my beardie.
