The uvb unit needs to be under the screen top and (at the very most) 8" from the basking spot. The screen filters 35% to 50% of the uvb out, so your dragon is not getting the amount of uvb he needs. The t8 is not as strong as the 10.0 t5 ho unit, which can be as far as 12" to 18" away and could be placed on the screen at 12" away.

i would try baby food with some repti- calcium, give him some everyday via syringe or spoon, its a good for dragons that don't eat, and it also eventually it will make them poop. apples, bananas any fruit and veggies will work too.

Now you need to raise his basking spot to within 6 to 8" of the uvb light, they love to climb.
Yes, always feed live bugs when possible. Crickets of appropriate size or Dubai roaches are good choices. He should eat as many as he wants in a 10 to 15 minute period or, until he becomes uninterested in eating more (could be as many as 20 or so) , twice a day. Superworms are only to be fed to adults as treats.
