New baby Beardie

[Rogue_Dragon23]

I just got my baby Bearded Dragon, Drago, yesterday, but he hasn't been eating since he got here. He ate at the store when I got him, but he hasn't touched his crickets since. I don't know how long he can go without eating while getting used to the new evironment.

Just be patient, relocation stress can cause lack of appetite and it's very common. In the mean time can you show pics and give a rundown on your set up and lighting ?

I have a 75 watt bulb for the dome light fixture and try to feed him crickets, sometimes meal worms, before I leave for work and in the evening, but still won't eat them. Very recently he's got a dull Grey color starting when he was a light yellow. He's staying away from the heating rock but he's been climbing a bit and takes a soak I'm his water dish. The photo is what he looks like currently, what he looked like yesterday and of his setup.

Cute little guy, you have a nice set up but a few things definitely need changed. Get rid of the hot rock, they can malfunction and burn him badly. What type of uvb do you have ? They should have a long tube like Reptisun 10.0 t5 or Arcadia 12 %-14 %. Small cricket are good, you can disable them a bit and drop 1-2 at a time near him. Mealworms, not so good for babies. You can try bsfl, they're a great little larva for baby dragons. Him turning grey is shedding.
