Karma, My Bearded Dragon Hasn't Eaten anything for the past week and a half. She won't poop either. Another thing to note is that she is constantly trying to escape (glass surfing). At first I thought she was just gravid but all she does is try to climb out the lay box I made for her as well (perfect temps and everything). If I offer her wax worms she will eat them. It's the only thing she will eat. Which is why I tried super worms, But Won't touch them at all. I've been giving her daily baths. She also won't eat her collard greens that I offer her. What should I do? She is one year old.
 
Usually when my bearded dragon is glass surfing, it's either because of her reflection that she sees in the glass, or she just wants to get out of her terrarium.

If it seems that Karma is not accepting its food and greens, force feeding would have to come in.

It's not unusual for them to go through phases like this. If she isn't digging then I suggest just letting her run around outside the tank to explore and burn off some steam if you have a safe area for her to do so. Keep an eye on her weight as it should remain stable. At a year old I'd keep offering bugs once per day along with a nice salad. The wax worms are pretty high in fat and can be addictive so it's best to only offer them as an occasional treat if at all. I prefer offering black soldier fly larvae and silk worms. My dragon will run in from the other room with his head up in the air begging if he sees the silkworm container.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
