Relocation stress?

Hey all, I just got a baby bearded dragon a little over one month old. I bought him from TnD dragons, and they shipped him over here on Tuesday the 8th. He is very alert and energetic, but he doesn't seem to be eating. I woke up to poop this morning, I left about 5 1/4" crickets in the tank to see if he would eat. As of now I still see the crickets, he doesn't seem very interested in them for the time being. There's a hint of underbelly stress marks, not much though unless I take him out and hold him they'll be a little bit more apparent. If I leave him alone for awhile there will little to none stress marks. He runs away from my hand every time I'm about to do my daily cleaning of the tank, but if I pick him up and hold him he won't be resistant. Overall he is a beautiful dragon, I'm just wondering if there's any tips on trying to get him eat or drink? I gave him a short bath this morning, tried dripping some water onto his head but he didn't lick.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
