need feeding help....

[TxDragon]

Having trouble getting new juvenile dragon to eat. Got him Thursday but has yet to eat a cricket. Pooped Friday. I'm guessing from food he ate at store. Then popped again this morning. Have been put a mixture of veggies in dish but haven't seen him eat anything. Just bought mealworms and he ate 3 immediately. Then read they may be bad for bearded dragons. Also bought some young dragon food and have left that in cage. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi. He probably has some relocation stress. That can last a week or 2. I'd nix those meal worms. Crickets, dubia roaches, Phoenix worms, silk worms, butter worms are all good feeders. Hopefully his appetite will pick up in a few days.
