One of the most reliable sites for beardie care is found at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html You can find additional information here: http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Bearded-Dragon/ Provide heat, UVB lighting, water and a balanced diet while she recovers and beyond. Once she is healthy again, acclimate her to your presence slowly then gradually introduce her to handling by holding her for ever increasing periods of time.

Beardies can have regular soaks even as juveniles, especially when they are shedding. Use warm water and fill a container no higher than Lucky Man's shoulder. Never leave him unsupervised while he is bathing. Bearded dragons are omnivorous. They eat plant and animal matter. Greens and veggies should make up about 20% of the diet. Acceptable foods include carrots, green beans, squash, mustard greens, collard greens and dandelion greens. Prey should be of appropriate size. Beardies can eat crickets, locusts or dubia roaches. Wax worms can be offered as treats. Never feed insects caught indoors or in the yard. Raise your own, buy online or from a pet store. They do enjoy being held once acclimated and are very curious about their environment. Follow the link for more information: http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html

Ideally, the UVB light source should run the entire length of the tank. A thermometer/hygrometer should be on each end of the tank to confirm cool and warm sides. Use a digital thermometer to verify temps. Those little ones you have can be inaccurate. Provide a hide on both sides as well. Personally, I would remove the fake grass as it has the potential to cause eye injuries. Your tank looks good otherwise.

With that black beard, he does seem stressed. Check temps in the cage. Low temps can affect activity in reptiles. Survey the area in and around the enclosure for any negative stimuli. This may include loud noises, strong vibrations, cold drafts or high traffic. reduce or eliminate any if found.
