Bearded Dragon Egg

Hello everyone and TYIA for any information.
So I just picked up a baby dragon over the weekend from my local petsmart. He was super chill the first day while i got his tank all ready(40 gal, heat lamp, uv lamp, rock cave, dishes, hammock)
I used to babysit a friends beardie for weeks at a time but am totally new to the experience owning one myself. I originally wanted to adopt an adult but couldnt find any in my area so I went with baby Spike who is shorter than my hand. Tiny little guy.
The petstore folk told me they feed him 10-15 crickets a day + freeze dried veggies and a mealworm every other day. So far Ive only seen him eat 1-2 crickets a day but loves the mealwprms when i offer them. He usually only takes 2 but he is pretty small so no worries there. Ive also seen him eat his fresh cut greens i give him. He is super skiddish now unlike the first day, and eats nowhere near us much as they said he does. Im assuming he is just adjusting to his new environment and Im worrying for nothing? I want to interact with him but i hate the thought of scaring him as he runs away from my hand as fast as possible. Tell me this is all normal, please! Lol!!
