New Beardie not eating

[bibliotheq]

Hello everyone, I got my first Bearded dragon three days ago and the first two days I fed him until he stopped eating (he only ate like 10-15 crickets both days) and today he is not eating at all. He looks like he's gonna start shedding soon but he's only two months old and I feel like he should be eating more since he's a growing boy. Thank you!

They will go thru relocation stress so it could be that but MOST IMPORTANT is the basking temps and UVB --- temps need to be 105-110 NO stick ons use a digital probe thermometer place where he sits for basking -- next the UVB needs to be a long tube fixture NO coils they are NO good and inadequate ---- you would need a 24" fixture for a 40 + gallon tank - Zoo Med Sunblaster Nano or a Arcadia Pro T 5 ---- w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a Arcadia 12% bulb -- let him acclimate to his tank and surroundings but please get the basking temps and UVB in order to help him acclimate to the tank --- he needs to adjust to his surroundings as well --- the temps and UVB will control his over all health and behavior -- Need more help please ask --- shedding can contribute to the not eating but relocation stress and improper lighting will effect it more

I have all the lighting and temps in order I figured it might be relocation stress I just wasnt sure since he ate the first two days, thanks for the help :]

Make sure you have the correct distance for the UVB they require certain distances and placement for the UVB --- T 8's are different from T 5's
