Superworms are actually probably too big for a 12 inch beardie from what I've seen and read. Bearded dragons have a "kink" in their digestive tract until they reach about 16inches in length and it straightens out. Maybe the supers are getting a bit stuck in the kink (but not enough to cause full-blown impaction), so she doesn't feel like eating until her system finally works them through?
You could also try giving her some probiotics for her tummy. Medications like antibiotics and de-wormers (including Panacur) will kill off the good bacteria in human and animal digestive tracts. Probiotics put the good flora back in!
Some brand names of probiotic supplements are Acidophiluz or Benebac. A more accessible/less expensive option is to get some non-dairy soy yogurt from the grocery store or a health food store. If you're worried about sugar content, you can get Plain flavored soy yogurt and mix it with unsweetened applesauce.
Beardies have a hard time digesting dairy though, so make sure it's soy yogurt. Probiotics are good for appetite and healthy digestion. And they helped my adult's appetite when I first got him, and he hadn't even been medicated! (I just did plain soy yogurt + unsweetened applesauce back then; these days I have the powdered probiotic supplement from Beardeddragon.co, which is also awesome). So I definitely recommend giving the probiotics a try!
It may sound silly, but the idea just occurred to me. So me so I thought I'd include it just in case! Maybe she's been filling up on "salad" (or whatever you call her daily dish of greens and veggies/fruits. I've always called it salad
), and doesn't have any room for bugs? You could keep an eye on her salad intake each day and see if that has anything to do with how many bugs she eats. I don't think I've heard of a beardie regularly not having room for bugs because of salad, but you never know! There's a first time for everything lol
Also (and sorry if you already know this!) make sure your little lady is well-
hydrated too, from baths and
drinking water. Misting doesn't work for
hydration since dragons don't absorb enough (if any) water through their skin. Sometimes beardies who aren't
hydrated enough, feel a little icky and won't want to eat.
That's my two cents anyways (more like a novel actually. Hopefully one of those ideas does the trick
). Good luck!!! For such sweet little critters beardies can be so stressful sometimes lol :shock:
