Thanks for reaching out a about Flapjack. There are multiple reasons for anorexia including intestinal parasites/infections, metabolic disease (liver, kidney), malnutrition, poor husbandry, stress and others. Check husbandry first, as uromastyx like it hot. You can try offering a meat flavored baby food via a syringe to give calories, and also to offer water. A veterinary visit is needed to assess Flapjack and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.
