It's normal. Give your new baby some time and he'll start eating for you soon!

Best not to feed him the small/medium crickets with him being so tiny it could cause impaction try and find some smaller crickets as soon as possible.

It could be relocation stress which can last a couple days to a couple weeks after you got him. Beardies also won't eat if the basking temperature in their cage isn't hot enough. They need it to be around 100 degrees on the basking area to digest their food. You need to use a digital thermometer with a probe, NOT a stick on or dial thermometer. Also, a good UVB such as Reptisun 10.0 tube or MVB bulbs must be used. Good luck
