i just got a baby beardie about two weeks ago..he is about 6-8 weeks old. i have a uvb light and heat lamp for the day time and a che for the night time...when i first got him, i put him in a 20gal tank and he was eating fine..then i switched him to a bigger custom built cage a couple of days later..(probably my first mistake) since then he has pooped almost everyday except for the past few days.. and couple of days ago he ate like 4 medium superworms...he tore them up...problem is he hasnt eaten again since...and im worried...he has access to a plate of veggies and crickets and small mealworms all day...if anyone has any opinions or ideas, i would really appreciate it...thanks..

I don't think feeding him superworms was a good idea. Make sure his basking spot temps. are in the 105-110 range. Try giving him a bath in 83-85 degree water for 10 minutes or so. Hopefully he'll poop for you.

It's been a few days since you posted, is he doing OK? Hardly anyone ever looks at this sub forum so it would be best to post on the general forum in the future. You'll get more and faster responses.
