So my beardie has some shed on his legs and arms, and on most of his tail. His appetite seems to be almost nonexistent recently. I understand that shedding can cause that, but he hasnt eaten a single thing today.

How long has he been eating less? It might be just fine, especially if he is still alert and active, and hasn't lost any significant weight.

How old is he? If he is an older dragon, a little less won't hurt him, but if its a younger one, you might want to take him the vet or something if he doesn't eat tomorrow. Beardies can go a few days without eating and be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to check up on him just in case.
You didn't mention if he was acting lethargic or alert, btw.

I would try waiting a day or two, continuing to offer food, and then go to the vet if its still an issue.
Also, was the poo not normal at all?

He looks alright. Not too thin. I don't really like to suggest force feeding, especially since those can create some problems if your beardie is sick, but you can always do that.
I would wait a couple days to see if he eats like I said before you do anything. He likely is just uncomfortable about his shed.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
