Baby bearded dragon will not eat crickets.

[Jamie93]

Hi,
I am a newbie beardie owner. Ive had my approx 3-4mo old bearded dragon for a week and a half. I have it in a 20gal tank with reptisun 10.0 uvb loght and a 75w basking lamp. The temperature an humidity are within normal range. The bearded dragon will only eat 2-3 crickets a day and sometimes none at all. I offered it a wax worm since i was worried about it not eating and it eats those just fine and very eager to do so. Im aware they arent a good choice to be feeding but I am out of ideas on how to get him to eat crickets. Please help

They will often go thru what we call a relocation stress period, during this time they often will not want to eat or will only eat a few...Just keep offering good food items and your dragon will eat, they won't let themselves starve. And the more you give an item that is like beardie crack (lol) the longer they may hold out. You could also try items like BSFL, dubia, silkworms remember variety is a good thing
