We acquired a 3 year old male bearded dragon 8 days ago. He only ate once 4 days ago (5 superworms) won't eat anything else (veggies, fruit ) and hides in the corner away from the basking rock. He was beautiful yellow and orange and now he has darkened quite a bit. He is stressing (trying to climb up the glass) and seems unhappy.

His terrarium is 36 x 18 x 24, with a basking side of 95 - 105. We use PowerSun 160 W MVB bulb which is 16" from his basking rock (well within the proper range for powersun bulbs). His cool side of the terrarium is 80.

The previous owner said he really doesn't like fruit or veggies and she basically feeds him king worms (head cut off). I've tried collards, kale, romaine, tomatoes, shredded carrots, strawberries, cucumbers and zero interest. It's hard enough to get him to eat worms let alone veggies/fruits. I also have been checking his hydration and have been giving him soaks 2 - 3 times a week to help keep him hydrated.

I'm at a loss, he is so stressed that he will find one spot and stay there for an entire day (unless I attempt to feed or bath him).

Is is this just a matter of a waiting game until he relaxes and realizes we are not here to hurt him? Or is there something else I could be doing?

Thanks in advance for any advice given.
