Try feeding your beardie silkies. It should fatten him up

you need to fill in more details...

for example:

has he been to a vet?
has a fecal been done?
diet: what foods, how often?
Lights: what kind? how many hours a day?
Heat: what is the temp of his basking area?

you may have a small dragon by "luck of the draw" or you may have a dragon with a load of parasites....
or it could be lack of right temp and right food....
it could be manby things.... tell us more and we might be ablse to help better.
