Wont eat?

[MrHM1020]

Okay i know all about the relocation stress etc etc. But ive had shadow for few weeks now, and he still has stress marks. Only recently have they darkened alottttt. I blamed it on his first shed. Also ppl say that beardies dont eat as often when they shed. This happened to me. But his shed is over now and he is still not eating. He used to eat like 25 crickets for breakfast and the same amount for dinner. But now he only eats 10 for breakfast and 1-3 for dinner... So id like to know why his appetite went down after successfully going up.. And when will his stress marks disappear, its been 3 weeks...

Honestly there is no answer as to when his stressmarks will go. its different for every beardie. when Miso was a baby her stressmarks were gone within a week, with Ruben it was more like 3 months. So dont concern yourself with the grumpy lines too much. Id focus on him eating.

Can you tell me what bulbs you are using? How far away the bulb is away from your dragon? What are your temperatures and how are you measuring?

Okay my uvb bulb is reptisun 10.0 he can get within 6 inches of that. And basking light is 150watt sun glo and Shadow can get within 8 inches of that. Hot side 105-110. Cool side 85-88. Using digital thermometers on both sides. Humidity monitor tells me that humidity is within 30-50 in range. So i believe my set up is good. Yesterday he ate 8 for dinner, which is an improvement on the previous 2. And today he ate 15 for breakfast. It always seems that he eats less for dinner. But i keep hearing ppl say that their baby beardies devour alottt of crickets they say they need anywhere from 50-100 a day... I only go through 10-25 a day.. Help me please, what am i doing wrong?
