Off her food

Hi
I have a six month old beardie who has gone off it's food, it used to go straight to the food dish when it was put in now it just looks at it and we hardly ever see it eating much, we feed it locusts, crickets, mealworms and even tried it with wax worms but it lets them run all over the place and doesn't give chase, I have bathed it around 3 times in a week, it's still very active and is always coming to the glass to come out for a run around any suggestions please.

Several things can affect appetite, including just taking a break from eating for a little while.
It sounds like you have a good bathing routine, so we'll skip that one.
What is the basking surface temp?
What kind of thermometer are you using to measure that temp?
What is the brand and rating of the UVB light?
What bulb style (compact/coil, tube, mvb) is the UVB light?
How close to the UVB light can the dragon get?
How old is the UVB light?
Is the enclosure brightly lit in the daytime and dark at night?
How long has it been since she's eaten normally?
Has she pooped recently? When? Was it normal?
Have you had a fecal test done?
I wouldn't feed mealworms. They're very hard to digest and very low in nutrition. Locusts and crickets are fine. Waxworms should only be an occasional treat.
