Why Won’t My Bearded Dragon Eat?
A bearded dragon may refuse food if the prey is too big or too small, if it's a picky eater, if it's unwell (enteritis or low enclosure temperature — they're cold-blooded and need ~30°C, 36-38°C by day), or if a dominant cage mate bullies it. Separate bullies and keep the temperature right.

Dose carefully (most products are toxic), disinfect feces with lime milk, treat all rabbits together, and sanitize the cage with boiling water or sun.
