So I recently got a new little bearded dragon (don’t know how old) and the first week, he was eating about 10 crickets everyday! 2 weeks past and now he hasn’t touched a cricket in days. We tried different foods: small hornworms, Dubia roaches, baby food (butternut squash, prune), and mustard greens. None of these worked, I’m scared cause I don’t want anything bad to happen to him, but he isn’t eating his food. Sometimes he lets them crawl on him. And today, he puffed out his eyes 3 times within an hour ? Someone please help me. ?

Honestly i've never experienced anything like this, but i saw youtube it to get as much information as you can. Try looking up how to get them to eat without forcing them, and i also recommend that you watch Lord Elion on youtube because he can be helpful. Also if you can then you should probably take him/her to the vet if it doesn't better any time soon. Try not to make it stressed if it seems like it has been. Hope he/she gets better!
He is very small right now so he is in a 10 gallon, 90 ambient temp, 110 at basking spot, he has a big rock hiding place, little log, no coiled bulbs, no colored bulbs. One 75 watt heat lamp and. 10.0 UVB bulb
Thanks for q. How are you taking the temps? A 10 gallon is really to small to get the proper heat graident. He needs a side that doesn't get hotter than 75. He could be way too hot.
