WHAT SHOUlD I DO. (poor appetite)

[Parker S]

Sooo my bearded dragon is 5 months old and still doesn’t wanna eat much I have checked all of the temps and everything is right 100 degrees F for basking and 80 degrees in his hide. All he wants to do is sleep all day so because I’ve been getting worried I force fed him because he won’t eat food on his own he refuses to leave his hide and I am very worried I give him all of his supplements. 5 days a week calcium powder (with d3) covered bugs BSFL or crickets if I can find some. Then 2 days a week his vitamins also with d3.
lighting specs: 100 watt zoomed repti basking spot lamp. Zoo med 18 inch uvb t8 bulb with zoomed cover

Where is your uvb? T 8's need to be inside the tank-- 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor piece-- no cover over the bulb it needs to be unobstructed and if it's 6 months old it is expired

Try offering food with no supplements on it. Maybe you're using too much.
