New Beardie Not Eating Much

[WonderWoman]

Hi I have posted a couple of times about my daughters new bearded dragon named Hanzo. We have currently got the lighting and housing temps correct. My new question is about the eating. He is a small bearded only 5 months old. My daughter feeds him 10 crickets a day. This is what the pet store suggested. He gets those 2 hours after his light comes on. And in the afternoon he gets greens and some veggies mixed with worms. The pet store said would help him get used to the greens. But he isn’t even eating all his crickets. And not much of his greens. Should we be worried. We got him last Saturday. Any advice would be appreciated. We love all our animals and want to make sure they are properly cared for

If you haven't had him long then he may still be settling in. At that age it's OK if he ignores his salad but keep making it available to him. His appetite will fluctuate but I would offer him as many crickets as he wants in about a 10 minute window twice each day. This will slow as he gets older and between about 12-18 months you want to reduce to one bug meal per day, then every other day, then only once or twice a week while giving him a variety of veges every day.
