My baby bearded dragon seems unwell. What are signs of illness?

Question

I have a tiny bearded dragon baby and is there anything I need to look out for specifically to see if she is unwell

Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or loose stool. Dehydration is a common cause of hatchling death. Mist her several times a day. Do not use a water bowl as it presents a risk of drowning. Feed appropriately sized prey. This can include roaches, crickets or silkworm. Fresh, chopped greens and a commercial pelleted diet should also be offered. Offer a calcium supplement daily and a multvitamin 5 days per week. Her enclosure should contain climbing furniture, a basking area, a heat lamp, UVB lightsource and a couple hides (one on the cool side, one on the warm side).
