I used to own a juvenile bearded dragon named Ra, about 2 years ago but unfortunately had to surrender him to a friend of mine who owns many reptiles because I was starting college and didn't have the time necessary to take care of him (He's doing great btw!) But I have recently graduated and wanted to adopt a new bearded dragon since I now have the time needed to care for one so I ended up adopting a baby beardie from a local breeder an associate at a retail pet store told me about a couple months back that she had used for her bearded dragon. The breeder told me some details about what they feed their babies and some of the characteristics of him like how he loves his hammock that he was enclosed with, so I just had to buy him the exact same one since he loved it so much and I figured it would help him acclimate.
However its been 3 days now and he seems a little lethargic and low energy. I have a cricket farm where I breed crickets for my other reptiles at home and he takes 0 interest when i try to feed him crickets with vitamin powder (vitamin and d3) or any of the veggies I set out for him daily. Thankfully he has pooped once and I have gotten him to lick some water I had lightly sprayed on his mouth so he has been drinking but he seems a bit skinny and I think he needs to eat soon. I was wondering if there were any tips anyone could provide to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are some pictures and some lighting info and such below:
20g aquarium
75w basking bulb (basking area gets about 97F-104F degrees, I use a high tech laser thermometer)
10.0 reptisun UVB Fluorescent lamp bulb and and hood
He has a cold and warm hide
Heating pad under warm hide for night time (Gets around 96F-101F degrees)
Repti-Carpet
Water and Salad dish
I also have all the lights on a timer and they are on about 13 hours a day
