So I have tried just about every worm possible for my guy to eat pheonix butter wax king horn silk (no meal worms) and He wontxeat them unless I force him to eat them horn worms being the last of which I have tried.

Not to mention getting him to eat greens is trouble too I honestly don't k is bow he lives with being such a picky eater :S

Will he eat crickets? Is it just worms/veg that he is refusing, or does he refuse food altogether? How old is your beardie?

There can be a few different factors if you think you dragon is a picky eater. First to consider is temps.
Warmer temps for babies and juvies increases metabolism and the will eat more often. I also find if they always have food available it seems the never truly get hungry. In that case I just let them get hungry by not giving them feeders for a day, but giving them a nice bath to hydrate them. The next day I introduce some fresh collard greens in the morning. Then I feed just a few crickets or supers(depending on size and age), maybe 5 or so, in the afternoon for nourishment. Keep the bath and morning greens regular and limit you live feeders until you notice a boost in appetite. After a week or so of this I have been able to get a picky eater to regular feeding patterns.

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!
