I've had my bearded dragon for two months now. He was about 3 months old. He doesn't eat like he should. At first he would eat around 5 superworms and now he literally eats maybe 2 or 3 every couple of days. He doesn't like crickets, like he won't go after them. If they come to him he'll eat it but he seems to like his worms more. I want to start a dubia colony but I don't know if he'll like them. I keep putting greens out for him but he won't eat it until they are dried out. Another kind of strange thing is that he HATES it if I watch him eat. Seriously, he'll just stare at me until I go away and then he might eat 1 or 2 but more often then not he just goes back to his cave and sleeps. He spends most if not all day hiding in his little cave. Unfortunately, I'm moving tomorrow and I know that is stressful and they don't eat much when stressed. What do I do though? Any tips on how to move without stressing him out too much? I don't want him to lose weight. He doesn't seem like he's lost weight but I know he supposed to eat way more especially because he is still growing. He has a basking spot and the correct lighting and temperatures. I've been do a lot of reading on here to make sure that I'm giving him the best care I can but I don't know what to do about him not wanting to eat. I'd be grateful for any advice or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
