My bearded dragon that i've had for 6 years won't eat! I've tried feeding him crickets, meal worms, and lettuce. He hasn't eaten in about a week and a half! All he does is try to climb up with glass cage walls and scratch everywhere. He is shedding, but i don't think this has anything to do with it. Any ideas?

Try other insects, such as superworms or silkworms for variety. Lettuce should never be used. Mealworms can cause impactions. Check your temps and UVB. UVB bulbs need to be replaced about every 6 months as they lose potency. Try giving him a warm bath (which should be done weekly anyway). Have you had his parasite levels checked recently? If not, get a sample to an experience reptile vet soon.
