Has there been any changes in diet, behavior, lighting, or temps? How often is he basking and what are his basking temps? How old is his UVB light? All of these questions will help eliminate other possibilities.

It's always best to have a fecal preformed just be safe. I'm almost positive The individuals that run this site perform fecals and could provide you with more info. Though I would like for someone else to comment on that since I'm newer to this forum.
You can also check out beardeddragon.co
Or look up "black beard dragons" (by doctor dragon) on facebook and shoot them a message. For $12 you can mail them a sample and she will call you and tell you what your dragons has and tell you what and how much medication he needs. I've heard great things about them.

Nothing has changed in his diet or anything else but his uvb is 4months old. I have these lil cards that say its still ok but i kno usually should change at 5 to 6 months so ill try that or change to a power sun and try that out. But still def wanna try checking for parasites ...

Yeah it sounds like it could be a parasite infection. If so it's very common with beardies and probably nothing that can't be successfully treated.

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!
