hi my beardie had a full body shed and now hasnt ate at all in a 2 and half weeks i took to pet shop when she hadn't ate in 3 days they said this is completely normal after a big shed but still waiting on her to eat ive tried all her favourite live food and veggies she is drinking still and now this is her poop (inserted picture underneath) is this normal poop after not eating or does this sound like parasites? also she is sleeping under her rock alot more but still is appearing for a good few hours a day need some help please any advice would be appreciated thank you
Sounds like brumation or semi brumation - the poop looks fine shes hydrated which is good - to rule this semi brumation out lets go over the surface basking temps - they should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer and a long tube fixture for a UVB - NO coils please--- this can simulate brumation behavior so we want to rule this out first -- any colored bulbs in the tank ?

Ok so please get a Reptisun bulb they are a better quality bulb ---- where is the UVB at? Top of screen inside the tank? Is this a T 8 bulb I am assuming it is --- I would look at upgrading that fixture to one of these especially for a 50 + gallon tank --
24" this comes w/ a 5.0 bulb you will need the bulb I post for it

As KarrieRee said his poop looks healthy. Have you been mixing up his vegetables and insects? Sometimes bearded dragons are very picky . Since this is after he finished shedding this is pretty normal. Is it getting a lot more colder where you are as when it gets cold bearded dragons tend to Brumate.

Oh so you are in England/UK area?
Definitely, the weather & length of day drastically affects their appetites & activity. You can try to
keep her a little warmer during the day, just a couple of degrees increase, to see if that helps out
for her.
To help with her appetite, you can try some blackstrap molasses or bee pollen to stimulate the
appetite some.
