Since 25th Dec he has eaten only 6 mealworms.
He is losing some weight.
He is pooping both in his tank and in his bath.
He gets baths daily.
He is pretty relaxed and goes from his basking rock to the branch and goes off to cool down once a day for a little.
The hottest part of his tank is 101F and the coldest part of the tank is 81F.
His tail is grey and he is shedding again.
He is not really interested in crickets that are in there right now and has never eaten veggies. He would never eat mealworms when I put them in with veggies only when they are on their own. I have tried feeding him in the viv, on the table, on the floor, by hand etc.

Any ideas ?

Have you tried crickets or roaches? Mealworms are not recommended for Beardies because of their hard chitin, they are also not as nutritional. Mine get bored with feeders so we rotate crickets, Dubia, Turks and Superworms...Good luck!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
