Bearded Dragon juvenile won't eat during shedding.

[Toran]

My dragon Solaire has stopped eating completely. He stopped eating 2 days before she started shedding and this is his first day actually shedding and still hasn't eaten. I'm severely worried about him as since he stopped eating he also hasn't pooped. Before when he did poop though, it was solid and normal appearing.

He is 2 months old about 7 inches long. All of his temps are correct and he is relatively active and alert.

I can get him to drink some water by dripping it on his nose and I can get him to lick some squash baby food we bought because he won't eat his crickets or his greens. When he licks it though it is very brief and it doesn't seem like he would get much out of it. Should I be worried or is this normal? Will he be ok? He's so young and it's my first reptile I've ever had.

Had him 1 week and 1 day now.

This is pretty normal behavior. They sometimes (not always) lose appetite and get moody/grumpy when shedding. He should return to normal shortly after the shed is complete.

About how long does that take for a juvenile? Just on the first day he got it down to his hind legs.

It varies between dragons and between sheds. Sometimes they have a shed that is kind of explosive and sudden. Other times they shed in patches a little at a time and it takes weeks.
