My 10 month old Dragon isn’t eating enough

I just purchased a 10 month old bearded dragon at a local reptile store and I’ve had him for 3 days now. He isn’t eating very much. I put insects (roaches, crickets) and greens twice a day in his bowl but it seems like he isn’t interested. He’s eaten 4 roaches since I’ve got him and some greens.

How often does he have to eat? I am worried about him not eating

He is going through relocation stress. He should start eating in a few days.
Please go over your lighting setup. Lights that aren't on par can cause it also.
If you can post pictures of all your lights and set up in general

Ok your lights look pretty good. It sometimes takes them a few days to adjust to their new surroundings. It's pretty normal 🙂

Cool thanks. This is our first time owning a bearded dragon and was just curious. Learning a lot and it’s so fun!

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
