She was treated for pinworms and parasites. I've been giving her acidophiliz+ for a week now and from research I've determined her cage temperature and humidity are fine. I've cleaned her cage and pUT her on paper towels for now and removed her log (put a older smaller one in for now). So I'm trying to get her to eat asap I l've try'ed different insects dubias + supers = failed. I give her baths daily. I saw she nibbled at mustard greens a week ago but nothing since. I gave her baby food in the mean time plz help.
How was she eating before the treatment, and what kind + how long was she on the meds ? Sometimes that does ruin their appetite, along with the stress of being force-fed the medication but she should start eating again soon.

Before treatment and before effects of parasites and pinworms she ate like a pig now she eats nothing. I cannot take picture currently I do not have phone or camera as I'm posting VIA pc. I can describe set-up as best as I can.
1. She has a 75w white basking light and a coil uvb (trying to buy fixture for long uvb bulb as o know coils are bad)
2. A odd shaped wood log that she basks on top of and sleeps under
3. Her cage is a 20 gallon (trying to build cage but bills keeps delaying me)
4. Temp us 98-101 usually humidity is 45-50 due to my state
She does look like she was eating very well, I see a chubby stomach there. Some larger juveniles + adults can hold out for food much longer than babies and still not lose much weight. If you can make sure she stays hydrated and keep offering her fave food she should start eating again. Try this ....take an insect, smash it until the guts come out a bit and rub that lightly on her snout. That will very often get a beardie to eat. You can also try a food that she maybe has never had + would spark her appetite.
