First of all your dragon is going thru relocation stress --- we need to get the tank up to par meaning I am seeing NO long tube fixture UVB which I am thinking your using a coil---- NO coils they are inadequate and will cause all kinds of health issues ---- I can post 3 good UVB's for you to get ---- surface basking temps need to be 105-110 surface basking which need to be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer --- hes behavior reflects stress improper surface basking temps and UVB --- once these are on par his demeanor and his eating will change --- please NO more meal worms -- they are too harsh on babies stomachs --- crickets are good please do not leave them in the tank over night - he should be eating 20- 25 appropriately sized for him in one feeding --- he should be fed fresh salads every morning along w/ his main staple insect--- insects should be dusted lightly ONCE per feeding w/ calcium D3 5 x per week --- the UVB will help absorb the calcium which is essential for his growth and health - vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week lightly coated on the insects ONCE per feeding ---- here are some websites for food
http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale info its outdated and kale is a good staple feeder
www.dubiaroaches.com I would switch over to dubia roaches - better nutritionally - easier to care for -- if you want some help I can help you get set up for those -- going into winter its best to order them on line and not rely on pet stores they are expensive and unreliable -- freeze dried food is not as good as what I have posted for you I can also post other websites w/ other staple feeders as well --- but we need to get the tank on par or he wont eat at all --
