Bearded Dragon not eating

My boy Azazel has recently just stopped eating. It’s been about 2 days. He is shedding right now but it makes me nervous, I can feel his stomach is so empty when I pick him up. He just lays in his basking spot all day long and doesn’t move. I feel like I am doing something wrong. Is this normal for dragons when they are shedding? I have him a bath last night to help with the shedding and put him to bed and when he woke up it was the same thing as yesterday. Wakeup, climb up to basking spot, and nap all day.

Yes, they can be so uncomfortable during a shed that they don't feel like eating. The basking is a positive, though. Just make sure his temps and uvb are good, and keep offering food so he'll have it when he wants to eat.
