Next, it's not good that he's had no bugs for three weeks! I'd advise you buy your bugs online in bulk, then it doesn't matter if the pet stores have them and they will be a lot cheaper! You'll just need a tank of some sort to keep them in.
As for the red heat lamp for night time, you probably want to get rid of that and get a ceramic heater, linked up to a thermostat or a timer so that it comes on intermittently throughout the night. Although they say that the red lamps don't disturb them, it's not entirely true!
Have you checked all the temperatures with a digital thermometer and do you have a uv light in there?
