Have a 19 month old male bearded dragon he went from December to April not eating anything at all and at present he isn't eating a lot he's just eating the odd leaves of rocket he won't eat anything else won't touch fruit and vegetables won't touch flower mix and only live he usually will eat is worms or hoppers wont touch roaches crickets he looks like he could be due a shed although he doesn't look like he's growing but he's not losing weight his viv isn't as hot as I thought his basking spot is where it should be and the cool spot usually only goes 3 to 5 f higher than it should so do need to address it but it's not easy when it's this warm

Whenever they go off eating you want to check you husbandry first and make sure that the temps are correct and that your UVB bulb is current. If the tank isn't warm enough for him to digest his food, he won't eat.

Also take him to a vet for a check up to rule out any problems like parasites.
