Beadie not eating

[Johnwalk12]

Hello, I'm growing concerned as my bearded dragon has not been eating practically anything for the past week and he has lost a lot of weight. I have three major concerns and at the moment, I'm still looking for a vet as the one I had been to didn't serve bearded dragons. Firstly, he refuses to eat anything but mealworms and sleeps all day, digging a burrow in his cage. Secondly, there has been blood in his feces. The first time it happened was when he stopped eating, so I thought it was due to impaction, but then it happened a second time, and now I'm not sure. Lastly, he is still young, and I feel as if I hadn't switched to a veggie diet in time, and now he won't eat veggies. I have been using Fluker's bearded dragon diet pellets prior. He has the proper lighting, and I'm not sure if it's impaction. Please help

Please stop the meal worms ---- start feeding salads every day and use BSFL to attract him to the bowl--Amazon.com
www.symtonbsf.com -- he looks a little thin ---- please also get him some dubia roaches as well www.dubiaroaches.com order by their chart for the size - insects should be no bigger than the space between his eyes --- proper lighting please explain--- surface basking temps should be 95-100 for a dragon over 6 months and a digital probe thermometer should be used to get that temp -- UVB a long tube fixture NO coils please ---- not all long tube fixtures are good ones as well -

Hello,

What is his age? He does look a bit thin so he still needs protein to maintain his health.
What type & brand of UVB light are you using currently?
If he has some blood in his stool, then he may have a heavy load of worms or parasites that
are causing intestinal distress.

Let us know how he is doing.
