Hello. New to the forum.
So I have just rescued a bearded dragon. She was with my girlfriends friend initially, who literally did not care about her anymore and abandon her. She was in her tank hiding when I went to get her. Her tank was tucked away into a corner, covered with dust (she was left there for weeks or maybe more).
There was no heat lamps, no lighting, bone dry water dish and was not fed for weeks and weeks.
Fortunately, she was still alive when I got her from the house.
I tried everywhere to see who could take her in who knew what they were doing, but its a lot harder than i imagined to find someone who will take in a reptile, at least for the area I'm in.
Anyways, shes with me now. I have reptiles of my own, but never have had a bearded dragon, nor have I ever tried to rehabilitate a rescue animal of any kind back to good health.
I normally research months before I actually get the reptile, but in this case, I wanted her out of that environment asap. So now, im learning how to care for beardies as I go.
They are surprisingly similar to my Uromastyx care.
She's eating mealworms extremely well. Shes moving around and basking in her spot (100f). She doesnt seem interested in crickets, no matter how I try feeding them to her. She ate some greens i left out for her as well (bok choy).
So, my question is, does anyone have any tips on what I should be doing to get her in better health? Shes very skinny and has next to no weight to her. It's quite sad.
Any info is much appreciated, thank you everyone.

Is she a big dragon, adult size of decent weight ? Can you post pics of her + her set up ? It may take a wile for her to switch over. Here's how to post pics :
