    Baby not eating well

    My 5 1/2" beardie is not eating well at all, first day it ate 14 crickets, second day 11, third day it ate a little greens and maybe 1 cricket. When I drop the crickets in, it just stares at me and lets them scurry off. It will maybe eat 1 or 2 in sequence if I'm lucky but that's it.I've tried putting him in a 10 gallon to feed but he still won't touch them. I just ordered some phoenix worms and hoping that will work.

    The temperatures of the enclosure are 108-112 basking spot, 83-86 ambient, 32-39% humidity. It has been pooping everyday, and I've been giving it baths/ water out of an eyedropper to keep it hydrated.

    how long have you had it? it may just be getting use to his new place. You dont want to mess with him to much or your going to stress him out and make things worse. Just try his salad and see how he does, maybe wait a day or two with the crickets, sometimes they will stress them out esp if they are to many in the tank.

    I would try giving it raspberries. I used to breed beardies and whenever one decided to not eat I gave them raspberries with their salad and they gobbled them up.

    I've had it for 5 days now, it's also shedding on it's tail maybe that has something to do with it not eating?
