Baby bearded dragon won’t eat

Hi! I got my baby bearded dragon Jan 25 (almost 2 weeks ago). My concern is she hasn’t really eaten at all. The day I got her she ate about 3 mealworms dusted with calcium, but since then she’s only had a few licks of squash baby food (about 3 days ago). The lady I got her from said that she was eating like a pig, but isn’t super active and just likes to be held and observe things.

I’ve tried offering all sorts of fresh veggies, mango, grapes, as well as different types of bugs (roaches, crickets, mealworms, BSFL, and even waxworms). Then I tried the baby food and she took a few licks but hasn’t eaten any since.

She’s in a 20 gallon right now since she’s so small, with a basking spot of 100F, warm side of about 90 and cool side of about 80 with UV lights. She has a hide on both the warm and cool side. She also won’t tolerate baths or any sort of water at all and freaks out.

She’s only pooped once and it looked fine, no signs of parasites or anything.

She doesn’t move around her cage at all and just stays wherever I put her 24/7. If I take her out she likes to climb up and sit on my shoulder or climb the couch to sit on the top but other than that she isn’t super active.

What should I do??
