Juvenile Beardie Not Eating

[Chryptecream]

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!

Hi. Can you give a rundown of the set up? How you take the temps and what are they? What kinds of bulbs? Any colored? Coil? How big is the enclosure?

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.
