Won't eat from food bowl and not eating as much now?

[ShaneCash]

ive had my bearded dragon for 2 weeks, the first week she would eat just about anything I gave her, then she slowed down. Usually the routine is I go to work in the morning and I turn the lights on in the cage leave lettuce, maybe some worms from "can o worms" and zoo med BD food. I come home from lunch and the food is untouched, I'll mist her with water to keep her hydrated and I'd sometimes hand feed her, and she eat. Then I come home and feed her crickets and she'd eat as much as she can in 10 min. And I put them up. Now the second week. She barely eats anything, maybe two or three crickets and doesn't want to be hand fed, I leave food in the food bowl but I'm sure there's a way to train them to eat from it

Hi. How old is she? What is the set up you have? I'd quit feeding those worms in a can. Those are known to cause impaction and they are hard for beardies to digest. Lettuce is not very good for her either. Better greens are mustard, collard, dandelion, turnip greens. In fact here is a site that alot of us use beautifuldragons.com. Also misting her whole body does not keep her hydrated. Just mist her snout or else give her a bath.

Well I'm assuming 2-3 months she is about 7 inches, I bought her at pet smart and have no info on her, I will check out the website, thank you very much
