Hi there....how much of it did he eat ? Can you post a pic of the fake plant using this info:

Hopefully it wasn't too much and it will pass through with the food. Do you have anything to fee him besides mealworms ? Those are harder to digest than crickets and other insects so give him something else that is easier to digest. You can also give him real greens like collards, turnip, mustard, endive. Also a bit of applesauce with a few drops of raw honey or veg. oil can help to move it through.
Be sure to get the fake plant out of his tank.

How is he acting ? Can you post a pic of your dragon as well ? You just have to wait to see if it will pass, otherwise he may need a trip to an emergency vet. Did you give him any applesauce or oil ? Hopefully it will pass through. Too bad the companies include any fake plants in a beardie set up, this is what can happen.

Try raw honey and veg. oil. Any type of baby food if you can get it, or just the veg. oil or honey. If you have an eyedropper or syringe that would be good or you can just offer it from a small spoon, preferably plastic if you have it or the end of a plastic straw. And it may take a couple days to pass it. As long as he's acting normal he is O.K. Is the plant soft or firm ?

The beginning of the plant is soft but in the middle gets hard.. I think he bite until the soft part. Thank you very much.. I am going to keep a eye in him.

Hello,

It sounds like he was definitely hungry! I hope he is able to pass it through.
Keep his tank a little warmer overnight to help expedite digestion also.
As suggested, raw honey can be used in combination with vegetable oil, or even coconut oil mixed too.

Let us know how he is doing.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
