I just got a new juvenile bearded dragon, May 3rd. He was hatched on 12-10-17, and he ate very well for the first couple of days. But for the last two he hasn’t ate! I give him his salad in the morning, and his insects (crickets w/ supplement and a wax worm for a treat) at night. I only handle him when necessary, like feeding and baths (he’s had two). His basking temps are 100-110ish, since he has a large range, and the bulb is a SolarGlo 80 watt, this is for his UVB AND HEAT (is that enough UV??...) recently he has stress marks, and I’m just worried ab my new baby beardie... how do I de stress him and help him eat? What’s wrong?? ?
New beardie not eating for 2 days and has stress marks!!

Sometimes it can take a bit for them to settle in so this isn't unusual. Keep offering food and developing a routine and eventually he should get more comfortable. How far is your Solar Glo from the basking area? The basking temperature is good but the combination lights need to be set at a distance based on UVB output which is around 8-10'' for that bulb I believe.
An eye infection will usually show as swelling or crustiness around the eye. Do you see signs of that? If so then a test should be done on the eye to determine what the source of the infection is so it can be treated efficiently. If it's just being closed that's not necessarily a problem.
