Should I be concerned about how much baby is eating?

[Ann_K88]

We have a 2 month old dragon, Hans. He’s shedding right now, but since we brought him home, he’s eating less than I’d expect. He’s eating anywhere between 15-25 insects a day and a few pieces of salad. I alternate between small dubias, crickets and the occasional small wax worm. He also seems to get bored, so if it’s one of those days, I’ll cut superworms in half and let him eat those.

But around bug 15-20 it’s like he’s done and doesn’t want anymore. Sometimes I can entice him a bit to eat more, sometimes not. But everything I see online says he should be eating way more! He’s pooping normally everyday and is active otherwise.

He's eating that's good it's when he stops eating to be concerned - he still going thru relocation stress- it's good he's eating some salad too- FYI too many wax worms and fed to often can cause liver damage so feed sparingly they are a fatty worms- make sure your getting surface basking temps w a digital probe thermometer- 105-110 and a good long tube uvb fixture I can help w/ that if you need to replace a coil if that is what your using

Also 15 to 20 is good, babies should be fed 2 to 3 times per day. He should eat about that at every feeding
