Hi-
First time bearded dragon owner here. I just got my bearded dragon, who is four years old, from a close friend three ish weeks ago. Since then, the only thing she’s eaten is 10 mealworms last Saturday and a bit of apple and 4 mealworms today. I had to basically force feed her to get her to eat something. I am worried that she is not eating. She his finishing up shedding, and it is winter. Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the forum..Please post some pictures of your set up and what are your basking and UVB bulbs?? What are your temps??
You may want to change the protein source from mealworms as they even in adults can be hard to digest because they contain a high amount of chitlin in their shells..The dragon really needs to by hydrated to keep them moving thru and not cause an impaction. What greens are you offering? Their main greens should be Collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens. Fruits should be a minimum due to sugar content..
