Hi everyone,
I recently got Toothless, a baby "fancy" bearded dragon from PetSmart. We got him last Thursday and he really hasn't ate much. I have a dubia colony and he eats 1 or 2 very small dubia a day. He won't take any water from his bowl and wont lick it up off his snout with I put a droplet there. His eyes are closed most of the time, but I believe my setup is correct. He spends most of his time on top of his wooden log, which is ~105 in the basking spot and gradients to 80 on the cool side. I have a hygrometer on order but do not know the humidity right now. Here are some pics of him from a few minutes ago, he looks relatively healthy and does jump around/climb when moved from his basking spot.
I hope this is just relocation stress and he will eat soon, he's starting to worry me (or I'm worrying myself). As I'm reading he should be eating dozens of dubia a day as a baby.

Herpstat 2 keeping his upper basking spot at 105 and the cooler side 80. Light's turn on at 6:30am, turn off at 9pm.
I keep a constant supply of dubia available in case he wants to eat, but rarely does. I'm thinking of trying chicken baby food tonight. Anyone have any ideas?
