Juvenile bearded dragon stopped eating

[Bobby]

I've had my bearded dragon for about a month and a half now.I've been feeding him calcium dusted crickets and kale ,he doesn't eat kale very often, but he would eat the crickets regularly. But about 2 or 3 days ago he stopped eating besides a few bites of kale. He has a uvb light and his cage temps used to be around 90 degrees but I recently got a new light bulb and it's now about 100 degrees, actually the day my old bulb died is when I noticed he stopped eatingif that means anything .Idk if it's something to be concerned about or not but any advice would be great, thanks.

How old is he, and has he pooped since he stopped eating? If he is feeling lethargic you could try and feed him worms, that way he wouldn't have to chase after his food. I wouldn't completely freak out yet, but definitely keep a close eye on him

Temp will play a large role in their eating, are you sure on the temps? how are you getting the temps are you using a IR temp gun? How old is your dragon? younger ones need the higher temps older ones require lower temps.

Today it was in the low 90s that might be because I accidentally left my bedroom window open but usually there about 100 degrees. But I don't have an ir temp gun, I just have two analog thermometers on both ends of the tank.and he is a juvenile,I did notice he shed a little bit of skin but that was a couple days ago and he's still not eating.

He is a juvenile and he has pooped once a couple days after he stopped eating and I tried feeding him a worm today and got excited because it looked like he was gonna eat it but he didn't.

You need to get a digital probe thermometer or a temp gun to get your exact temps. Depending on how old your beardie is, your temps need to be warmer that what they are. Also, kale as a sole veggie is not good. Calcium binds to kale and so whatever they take in will not be absorbed into the body rather be eliminated with the kale. Kale is okay to feed if mixed with other healthy greens such as collards, mustards, turnip or dandelion.
