Baby beardie not eating

[Eddy365]

Hi all just need some help please,
I got my baby beardie on the 29th of may but have a problem with him not eating. He has a big viv (4×2×2) but had been in a very small tank with about 15 others. Could he not be eating due to stress of moving to a new environment?
Any advice or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance ?

Yes very likely relocation stress.... all very new to him, and very scary.

He's likely feeling very overwhelmed too.
This is the reason why I started my hatchlings off in 100L rearing tubs ...
>> less chance of loosing track of feeder insects
>> less overwhelming

Worth working through this to make sure it not down to husbandry issues or health issues : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=236150&p=1815390#p1815390

Great news !!! He is finally eating worms and veg! I showed him a worm with tweezers and he gobbled it up and then carried on with more . . . I'm so happy right now.
Thank you everyone that helped!!!
