I got my first bearded dragon about a week ago, I'm not sure what her exact age is, but I'm sure she's only a few weeks old, maximum. Her total length is only about as long as my hand.
Anyways, she's not a big eater. I know that young beardies are supposed to eat mainly insects, yet she's not eating much at all. The day after we brought her home she ate maybe 10 or so crickets, and even less the day after. We still offer them to her as much as we can, yet she simply just sits there. What should we do?
She has a basking light and heat mat. At some points she'll lay around in one spot for hours, then move to another and stay for an even longer amount of time. While yes she seems lazy, she's still alert. She will also scratch at the glass and lean up against it on her back legs and sleep; I'm assuming that's her reflection she's seeing, should I put up a background?
Also, she has stress marks on her abdomen. Is there any way to help relieve her stress?
