Sounds like your temps are good.. wmake sure he has a nice basking spot. what kind of uv bulb are you using? Make sure it has both uva and uvb (i like reptisun 5.0... has highest output) and also, it shouldn't be more than 6 months old. the bulbs should be replaced if so. this bulb will stimulate the appetite.
Is he pooping?? This is something to monitor. If he hasn't been pooping he could be impacted or have parasites. In that case, I would put him in a warm shallow bath and rub downward on his belly. This usually gets them to poop. Spymptoms of parasites include not eating, not pooping, laying in one spot all day, generally not looking well, dark color. In this case, a vet visit would be the thing to do. Parazap is also a great natural product to consider as a preventative for parasites. www.parazap.com
i've given mine a bit of chicken babyfood with some mashed up dry beardie food (kaytee brand or other brands of dry pellets for beardies). i offer it on the tip of the nose and they lick it off. once they start licking i'll actually shove some in the mouth with a medicine dropper (needless syringe type).
