Beardie won't eat

[ScottandLai]

One of my two beardies, Tim, has been eating either very little or nothing at all for several days. At first, when I would hold some greens (mustard greens lately) or a super king worm in front of him, he would eat a couple pieces, then refuse to take any more. The last couple days, though, he might take one worm, but that's it. He refuses to eat beyond that, and bobs his head at me when I try to get him to eat. His color is fine, hasn't shown any signs of beginning to shed in a week or so, and he seems normally active. Our other beardie, Miga, displays a healthy appetite for greens and worms.

Anyone have any ideas?

Are they housed together?
How old are they?
Do you have a source of UV light?

They are housed together, yes. I hand feed them, ensuring they each have the opportunity to eat as they wish. I'll probably need to separate them before long.

They are about 7 months old.

They have a ZooMed PowerSun 100w UV bulb for the day, and a red heat lamp for the night.

You should really seperate them because at some point there going to fight or kill each other. You should feed them in seperate area and see if he eats then. Also you should not hand feed all the time because it is possible they can become spoiled and never eat or will seldom eat regularly without hand feeding. As for your light im not sure if its good or not maybe someone else can help ypu with that. If your dragon does not eat when you try to feed him seperately maybe he has an impaction. What kind of worms do you give. If its mealworms, they have a somewhat hard shell thats hard for them to digest and it sometimes causes impaction. I would go with crickets or roaches if I were you.

I should note that today after my first post, Tim ate several super king worms
