Not wanting to eat

[Mirandasue]

My sweet baby Fletcher is about 4 weeks old. He has barely eaten in the last 2 days. Maybe 5 bugs yesterday all day and doesnt seem interested today at all. I did notice yesterday he was shedding a little on his tail and face barely. Could this be why? He is still basking and seems energetic. I even took him outside for a bit today. But still not wanting to eat. He is my first beardy so I just wanted to make sure that this much of a decrease in appetite is normal during a bit of shedding? Thank you!

Ours slows down when shedding. Or at least she did when she was a baby baby. Now she's 6 months and eats everything in sight, lol.

Do you know for sure if you have everything correct with his lighting and temps?

Yes he his basking spot is 106 to 109. I have the T5 uvb bulb outside the tank

What are you feeding him? And what size of the insect? Make sure to include fruits/veggies in their diet as well!

Well he has been eating some very small crickets and very small dubias and will eat bsfl now and then. He has eaten some collard greens so far as well.
