Do they hunt as they get older?
I am going out today to get 1/4 cricketsPlease post a pic of him and his insect your feeding him --- its odd hes not hunting- how big of a tank do you have him in and have you tried feeding him in a small tote?
I have had him for almost a week and ive done research for months before buying him i have one issue with my set up that i will be fixing today once my package gets here ( my warm side read 85-88) so ill be getting it up to 90-95 today but his baskingspot is 108-110How long have you had him? That could be playing a role in it too.
Proper husbandry plays a massive role in their health and appetite also, so make sure if you haven't that you spend some time researching and reading around here to confirm your set up is proper.

What are you waiting for? Make sure your insects are no bigger than the space between his eyes- what have you tried to get him to the salad bowl? Bsfl are a great staple feeder and good lure to the salad bowl-I have had him for almost a week and ive done research for months before buying him i have one issue with my set up that i will be fixing today once my package gets here ( my warm side read 85-88) so ill be getting it up to 90-95 today but his baskingspot is 108-110

They were dormant- they need to be set out so they can warm up- keeping them in the fridge will keep.them from turning into flies but the flies can be fed- mealworms are not good for babies- do you have a digital probe thermometer-? You need that to get actual surface basking temps--A lamp stand so i can use my 150 watt farther away so it does not get to hot to burn him and a escape proof bug bowl they just came now i tried mealworms ( i know there not regular it is just until i find better bugs which is today) i tried to put waxworms in it he wont eat from a bowl at all but soon im going to big als for better bugs just setting up the better light now!

Once i got the 1/4 crickets hes eating those now he had a few when i brought them back but there so small hard to grab and they were able to get out of my cricket pen so that was greatYour beardie is absolutely ADORABLE! I hope you can get them eating!
He should be eating 20 -25 at one feeding-- I recommend you get dubia roaches and then you wont be finding crickets all over your house --- they are easier to care of last longer and fill them up faster --- if you want websites for them I will post - I would get a 10 gallon aquarium and set them up in that -- dubia food w / dubia dew/ crystals --Once i got the 1/4 crickets hes eating those now he had a few when i brought them back but there so small hard to grab and they were able to get out of my cricket pen so that was great
