Bearded Dragon Egg

I just took in a dragon from someone that received him as a gift (I believe it's a him) and he is severely dehydrated (his scales feel very dried out compared to normal) and extremely skinny. He has almost no fat and his belly goes in instead of hanging down. The previous owner claims that he is about 2 years old but I'm not sure if he hasn't grown because of a small tank and not enough food or if he is actually a young juvenile, because he is definitely not a fully sized adult. Another thing to note is that he was previously only fed dried mealworms and pellets and does not recognize moving worms as food. He is also jumpy and defensive due to rarely being handled. I'd like to know what I can do to help him and any advice would be appreciated.
