Hi, I don’t think the weather is relevant in this case unless it’s less than 25 degrees Celsius in the shades. Maybe she’s stressed or... whatever mustard greens are... I don’t think it’s necessary to give her some... When my lizards aren’t eating I usually just change their diets for some time or better yet, I hand feed them. If they really don’t want to eat, I’d give them supplements (Repti-Cal) mixed with water in a seringe till they get their appetite back. The dosage is really important, vitamins must not be on every meal but if she hasn’t eaten for more than a week, I’d highly recommend it. Remember that bearded dragons live in the desert so it’s not unusual for them to miss a meal or two... Don’t try too much and she’ll be fine.

They are not talking about the weather! Sometimes they get that way when shedding. Soak in WARM bath. How old? If over a year could be brumation. Post in bearded section. You will get answers.
