bearded dragon stopped eating?

[spencer118]

my bearded dragon stopped eating yesterday which i thought was normal because she ate alot the day before that. today i tried to feed her crickets and she ate very little and stopped eating them when i gave her one that was dusted, the calcium is pretty new i got it back in february/march. i bought her freeze dried grasshoppers for a treat but she didnt want that. ive also noticed that shes a bit more lazy/lethargic? her temps are usually around 33-40 celcius, she is in shed right now but she usually isnt like this when shes shedding. the only new changes are that i mounted the uvb inside(around a week ago), and ive cleaned her tank(3 days ago)

Shedding can cause lack of appetite -- cleaning the tank did you take decorations out etc -- did you rearrange anything? Dragons dont like change --what is the distance for your UVB and is it directly over your basking decor piece?

It could be that your bearded dragon is experiencing some hormone changes. It happens sometimes.

i moved some small rocks and a piece of decor, i do that most of the time but it doesnt seem to affect her. the distance from the uvb to the hammock is 9 inches its directly above her hammock

If it's a T 5 9 inches is too close please adjust 12-15 inches then watch the behavior- we need to rule lighting out
