Wow I hope someone here can help you. I am sorry to hear that he isn't eating. Maybe a vet visit?

[kaykayy]

His tank has got all the normal stuff, log, paper bags as substrate with a little sand for him to dig, the temp in the hot ennd is 35 in the cold end its 25 but its only a 3ft tank.

N the baskin light is 100watt n also have a uvb bulb

When was the last time that you changed the uvb bulb? And if I were you, I would take out the sand. Beardies don't need to dig, so it's not really necessary to include sand.

 

[Bill]

when you say hand feed it do you mean force feeding?

Try some fruit "Non Acidic" or get a couple jars of Gerber Baby Food. Sounds crazy but the baby food was a Vet recommended tip that actually worked 4 one of my beardies. The baby food has a lot vitamins & a variety of flavors for cheap. Also, use a rubber baby spoon so it doesn't hurt itself while eating. He might REALLY like it.
