I think we'll need a little more info to be able give some suggestions.
How old is she?
Has she been losing weight?
What lights (type and brand) are you using, and how old are they, and are they on top of a screen?
What are her temps at the basking spot, and on the 'cool' side, and how are you measuring them?
What had she been eating before this started?
I'm sure we can figure something out, there's lots of helpful people around here!

She is a little bit older than a year. I'm using 2 heat lights, one is 100 watts and the other is 150 (they are both ZooMed and around 3 months old). I am also using a 18" 50 watt uvb light (fairly sure it's Zilla) and I just replaced it. All the lights are on top of a screen. The basking temp is around 100 and the cool is around 80, I measure them using a digital thermometer. Before she started this she was eating crickets, super worms, and a various veggies. Hope that helps.

....if it's winter, she may be trying to brumate, but she's still got a lot of growing to do , so it's not adviseable to allow her to brumate over this winter ,she wont sufficient reserves.
What's the weather been like for the last few weeks ?
I have T8 tube with a reflector hood.kingofnobbys":4tvz52hi said:jaddragon":4tvz52hi said:fuchsiaSkies":4tvz52hi said:Hi there!

Are any of these MVBs (mercury vapour bulbs) ?
.....if not , do you have a 10%uvb or higher rated compact or T8 or T5 tube in a reflector hood ?
.......... if you have no UV source , this will make your young beardie very sick ad she will fail to grow and thrive , and she'll develop issues due in inadequate exposure to UVA and UVB such as fragile bones , MBD , and neurological issues, as well as having very low activity and a very poor apetite.
A good source of UVA and UVB is MANDATORY for a beardied dragon , this is NOT OPTIONAL.
