So we got a new bearded dragon on Sunday. He is tiny, and cute. He is about 4" from what I can measure and I don't yet have a way to get his weight. We got him from Petsmart and I was looking at him and realized that he may be too skinny. But since I am new to the world of reptiles all together I have no idea at all. He ate 6 crickets the first night, 8-10 yesterday and 8 so far today, but he hasn't touched any of the salad stuff I have put in (dandilion greens, butternut squash, mustard greens, and a couple beardie bites just in case). I have yet to bathe him becuase I am worried that it will stress him more than just relocation stress (should I bathe him anyway?) so I have been dripping water on his nose 4-5 times a day. He has kept his eyes closed alot but I don't think he is sleeping becuase he is standing up tall and shifts his head like he is listening to the noises of the house. I currently have him in a 40g with a reptisun 10.0 and 100w basking bulb 109 in the basking spot, ambiant hot side is 87 and ambiant cool side 75. He does not like to be fed in a seperate container he will eat a couple and stand in a corner and want out then I let a few in his enclosure and he will hunt them but it takes an hour for him to catch them (he misses alot). So I guess my questions are...
Is he too skinny?
Should I bathe him yet?
Should I keep feeding the way I am currently or are there other things I can do?
