I have a four month old beardie(nyko). I've had her(im assuming female for now) for about a month and a half,she was eating every single day,twice a day, food was being dusted with calcium & Vitamin supplements. Her diet included mealworms, crickets, waxworms,collard greens, strawberries(without seeds), bell peppers,etc. Her lighting is 10UV retisun bulb and 100w clear basking bulb, temperatures are correct, I have thermometers with a probe to monitor it. She stopped eating a week ago,the day before she stopped eating she shed the skin on her back, she is acting completely normal, no changes in behaviour at all besides the not eating, her eyes are alert and she reacts by tilting her head to look at me when i approach her,she enjoys being handled still, crawls up my arm, she has pooped twice since she stopped eating as well and it is normal like it has always been.I managed to get her to eat a few pieces of collard greens earlier today by assisting her but she wasnt really interested, she sees the food but wants no part of it. She doesn't seem to be dehydrated, i mist her 2-3 times a day and give her a bath at least once a week( sometimes more if she doesn't poop for a bit). Also her enclosure hasn't been moved for about three weeks but like I said she was fine until a week ago. Im really beginning to worry, any information would help!!
Seems like your doing a really good job taking care of her. She probably isn't eating because she just shedded. Maybe try giving her something new to eat like a raspberry (my beardie loves those). Beardies will get picky sometimes so giving them something new can refresh him. Stop feeding your beardie mealworms though. Mealworms are really hard to digest and cause impaction really easily. I would also be careful with the wax worms. wax worms are really high in fat so if you feed them to him to often you will have one fat dragon when he gets older!
I have heard That phoenix worms are good because they're soft and they have a lot of calcium in them I would also recommend feeding crickets or roaches. Mealworms could be a good food for an older bearded Dragon if they have a good digestive system and waxworms Are good for a every once in a while thing.
I would consider getting a different UVB though, as the compact/coil UVB lights have too much of a spike of unsafe UVB & the light spectrum doesn't span enough of the area to benefit your dragon very well.
We recommend either the Reptisun 10 tube or the Arcadia D3 12% tube, both of which are great. The UVB light is much higher quality, safer & will help your dragon absorb calcium more efficiently.
As for the mealies, they are "ok" for an alternative, but, not really as a staple. They don't have a lot of protein & can contribute to impaction in some cases. As suggested, the phoenix worms are a great substitute to the mealies. Crickets are very good & the waxies can be given 1-2 times per week as a treat, also.
Do you have any pictures of your dragon along with the tank setup?
alright I'll get a new bulb I had read a few things on the UV bulb but wasn't sure, also I just noticed that her tail is very faded compared to the rest of her body so perhaps she's preparing to shed it
