Stubborn dragon has me trained!

Well my little dragon just came home 3 days ago, and I think he already has daddy trained. I put some crickets in his tank, doesn't phase him...put him in a smaller critter tote so they are more easily accessable (he's a juvy in a 40 gal breeder), and he just tries to get out ignoring the crickets. I actually started to get slightly worried, so I grabbed my tongs I use to pinch mealworm heads and grabbed a cricket, and what do you know! When he's sitting on his perch and has crickets put in front of his mouth with tongs, boy does he love to eat!

On a side note, my juvy is still small size, no more than 6 inches, but I believe I can already see a slight oval and darker dots on his legs that signify he being a he lol, would it be a bit too soon for that as well or it just shows up when it decides to show up?

You can actually 'sex' them by holding them in your hand (or sitting and having them on your lap) facing away from you either way. Gently lift up their tail at a gentle angle. If your dragon looks like he is in pain then stop. But if male there will be two bumps just above the vent. If female there will be one. If you can't tell then it may be to early to see. You could always take pictures and see if anyone else can tell too. Do you know how old he is?

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!
