i bought my bearded dragon from petco about 2 days ago and everything seemed fine, she is very alert and nothing seems wrong with it but the pooping situation, shes eating very little, she ate about 7 crickets that i saw yesterday, its a young bearded only around 6 inches including the tail i cant really tell the age, and i have a starter kit that i bought for it, 10 gal lights rug for the bottom tree log water dish and meal worm holder. i know i need veggies for him, and a uvb light but is that the reason hes not pooping?
he does need uvb and did u buy calcium d3 powder? but let it settle for a couple of days and dont buy another bearded dragon with it because u dont know if its a her yet plus just give it a warm bath in a couple of days and see if it poops
thank you so much and the guy below for responding

you need that UVB, and a heat bulb too. your beardie by size is probably around 4 to 5 weeks old. I have heard, but not experienced that chain pet store beardies can and will have intestinal parasites. You might want to get him checked. wait on meal worms till at least 2 to 3 months, and do small meal worms if you want to IMO. Like mentioned, baths can help, but there can be stress due to a new home, and such, so watch , and see what happens.
