New Beardie Won't Eat?

[teahoarder]

I got my beardie yesterday and he still hasn't eaten. I tried moving him to a smaller container for feeding but he still wants nothing to do with veggies, fruits, crickets, or pellets. Should I be concerned? Also, should I get him vitamins? I have a vit. D supplement to put on the crickets.

Hi. Relocation stress can last a week or 2. He needs calcium 5x a week and vitamins 2x a week.

It took our beardie almost 2 months to start eating after we adopted him. He was active and would drink water, so I didn't worry too much. He was a good weight to start. He eats so well now, it's amazing! He is between 3 and 5 years old, and was in good health to start, so he was ok. How old is your new beardie? I am not recommending waiting two months if he doesn't start eating, but I have heard it can take a few weeks to settle in. How is he behaving?
