beardie not eating any more

[AchiKat]

day 2 now of her not eating, she was a strong eater till she shed, then it kinda fell off, shes not currently shedding, she wont eat crix, wax worms, repti worms (tho i think this is cause they all turned black) greens, nothing, all she will eat is a little baby food i gave her today, she doesnt seem sick or lethargic, and pooping regularly . shows no signs of parasites, she has a vet apt next tuesday for a general wellness check and weigh in. like i said, no lethargy, she basks normal, comes down to poop runs around her tank glass dances, does all of her notmal things except eat. i have a mulberry farms baby snack pack coming in the mail this week and hopefully the variety picks her appetite up. so everyone knows my setup is

40g breeder with tile substrate
basking temp is 100-105 depends on house temp
cool side is 75-85
humidity 30%
reptisun 10 tube bulb
and 60w house bulb for basking.

i really dont know what to do, or when exactly i should be worried.

How old is she? It sounds like the shed is what set this off. Beardies tend to shed in patches, so she may be preparing to shed another part of her body, even if you can't tell by looking. It's common for young beardies to lose their appetite during their first couple sheds, so if she is very young, I would guess that is the case. If she is older, though, I'm honestly not sure what to tell you, but hopefully your vet can figure things out at your upcoming appointment.

honestly not sure how old she is, shes about 8 1/2 inches long i got her from a petstore. also there has been this section ofher back leg that didnt shed, maybe it's stressing her out, no idea what i can do tho, we have been giving her daily soaks in the hopes that it will come off.
