Health Problems??

My bearded hasn't been eating crickets or vegetables for at least 3 days now. If i take him out of his cage he'll run around like normal, but if he sits in his cage for awhile he'll just lay in the sand with his arms and legs stretched out and his head on the ground. He doesn't even seem to be interested in the crickets at all, but as soon as I throw a superworm in front of him he chows it down. He's almost a year now, probably about 10mo.

what are his temps? do you dust his food? what other foods do you offer aside from supers? do you offer natural sunlight or UVB lighting? tell us about your set up and how big is your dragon?

We have a bearded droagon that I got from my son and he would not eat crickets. Basically he was spoiled on worms and was for some time after we got him. Worms are like candy to them. All he would eat was worms. It all so is not good for them to only eat worms. So we started feeding him less worms and put crickets in his cage. It took a few days and then he started eating the crickets and est more vegies.
