My baby bearded dragon didn’t eat and died in 2 wks. Now my new one isn’t eating. What should I do???

I had a baby bearded dragon and he woudn’t eat any of his food and died after 2 weeks. Now I have a new one and he isn’t eating either and I don’t know what to do to make him eat. I give him crickets and collard greens and the little dragon food pellets and he still won’t eat and I don’t think he’s drinking water either. PLEASE HELP!!!
I have the right set up and I’m givin him the right food and tha temp in the cage is right…he has a hot side n a cool side…i kno all of that…i kno how to take care of them or i wouldn’t have got one…he just isn’t eating ANYTHING…and he only drinks water if i mist his face…idk wat to do and I don’t want him to die too….
he’s a baby…about 2 or 3 inches long…he looks healthy and all and he’s alert and his eyes r bright but he just won’t eat…idk if it’s stress or what…

Baby dragons need to be warm. About 90 degrees is comfy when they’re tiny. Put the basking light and all the heating elements at one end of the cage and leave the other to be on the cool side. That way he can pick where he’s cozy.

If he spends more time in the darker, cooler side, the heat may be too much. Make adjustments if needed.

They MUST have a UV light. They don’t survive captivity without it.

Food is key.
It needs to be smaller than the space between their eyes. TINY!

What size is the tank?
10 gallons is only good for the first few months.
Babies get lost in large cages. Meaning if the cage is too large he could forget where to find the food dishes and basking spots.

Where did you get the baby and was it eating before you got it?
Baby reptiles are very fragile and can be born with birth defects. Sometimes, there is a “failure to thrive” and they die of natural causes.
Sometimes, the stress of a new home freakes them out and they die of the shock.

Always buy from breeders or SPECIALTY reptile pet stores.
Petco, Petsmart and other pet stores don’t take good care of their animals. He may have been dying when you got him.

Try this to save him:
A vet. Vets have special equipment and medicines that may save him.
Turn the basking lights and heaters on and cover as much of the tank as you safely can. He wants to be alone and warm right now.

EDIT TO ADD:
If you’re doing everything right, and he’s still not eating, you are looking at sickness, a genetic defect, or poor care before you got him.

You mention he seems healthy and alert, well, reptiles hide sickness and pain until they’re almost dead. By the time they seem sick, it’s often too late to save them.

A vet will help. Without one, he may not make it.

If this one dies, DON’T buy another one from the same place. Go somewhere else.
Don’t bring another dragon home unless you’ve SEEN it eat. Good breeders have no trouble demonstrating this.
