New bearded dragon Help!

[Papercompany]

Hello so I got my first bearded dragon 2 days ago, it pretty young only about 6 inches long, my issue is I try to feed it crickets (yes ones smaller then it's eye width) I put them in a feeding bin an she only eats 1 maybe 2 which is not enough...is it cause she is new ? Anything I can do to help her eat mores? Thanks

Hi. Its probably relocation stress. Give her/him a week and see how he does.

My beardie did the same thing when I brought him home. When he gets adjusted to his new home he's start eating (assuming his temperatures and everything is okay).

Make sure you have your temperatures right. My dragons never had a problem eating but I would also check out other feeders then crickets. Dubia roaches are perfect for younger dragons. Easier to get then the springy cricket!
