Perhaps a different species of roach? (Depending on where you are & what's legal/available).NelsonBernard":2s4zm3ns said:I moved him on to locusts full time when he stopped chasing/eating crickets. He has the occasional servings of waxworms. He had one fruit beetle grub and refused more and he did the same with roaches. He usually eats his salad but again, probably not enough. Maybe ill try him on crickets again.
MrSpectrum":ji4mx6eu said:It might, but there are other possibilities. Mine glass surfs around meal time; afterward, he basks it off.
If it is a reflection reaction, it might also be accompanied by other stress indicators--bearding, bobbing, stress spots... Here are some POVs on possible reasons & solutions:
bearded dragon glass surfing
One possible remedy is to put some light-colored, busy-patterned wrapping paper on the outside of the glass (facing in); this should break up the reflection/make it more difficult for him to see it. If the glass is only in the front of the enclosure, you can still try this; the paper doesn't need to cover the entire glass--just high enough that he can't see his reflection.
Right now I'm more concerned about the weight loss; it's possible--depending on the reason for it--that the surfing is related.

I would get a glass bowl that bugs / worms cant get out of and put your greens in that and add the super worms like 3 and some BSFL on top of salad -- make sure he sees you do this and the movement will get him to the bowl --- it could be the hormonal thing going on as some have mentioned w/ the constant glass surfing-- it drives me crazy too -- does he settle down after you have gotten him out for like 1-2 hrs -- mine does -- the medication might affect his appetite so I would beware of that for now- hopefully the meds will clear that up -- what are you using for a substrate now?
