Hello!! My name is Denise and I am new to all of this. We bought my son a bearded dragon for his 13 birthday on Saturday (Oct 14) and it is only eating maybe 2-3 crickets a day. I need help on ideas to get her to eat?? And what veggies can I feed a baby. She is only about 6 inches long so I'm guessing she is very young.

Same thing happened to my little boy when I got him. It's all the stress from a new place. Took mine about a week to get the ball rolling. Continue to offer food, she will spark up in no time. Now my Rami eats me out of house and home!

Yep they go thru what we call a relocation stress it can take a week or so for them to settle in.. Keep the stress low so covering 3 sides of the tank, don't make many changes..Just keep offering the bugs and greens and as long as they are eating something and pooping that's good
