New baby bearded dragon and poor diet?

Hey everyone

so I have had my bearded dragon for 4 days. He was being fed crickets previously but I just found them a nightmare to feed him and he wasn’t that fussed.
since, I have been feeding him baby roaches, small appropriate size. However I have read you should try to aim to feed them 3 times a day and that they can eat up to 20 a time. My little Simba will only really eat 5 a time and one set of them is covered in calcium. Should I be concerned or is it still early days and he is getting use to the change and new home?
I also have trouble trying to encourage salads into his diet :(
I think I’m just so anxious of doing something wrong and something happening to him!
The heating seems to be right I have a good thermostat so can’t see that being the issue or the uvb!

Hello, he's probably just still getting adjusted to his new home. It is normal for baby bearded dragons to not eat their vegetables they're kind of like kids.
