I have just purchased a four month old citrus beardie. she's absolutely stunning (will get pics on soon
) had her for a day and she's not taken to the crickets ive put in there. She has eaten a couple of wax worms but realise these are treats, oves eating spring greens..hasnt stopped munching these but has not touched one cricket. do you think this is just new surroundings?? the pet shop stated that she's usually eating around 20 crickets a day..she's big for four months and im just slightly bit concerned for her....cheers for help

Just purchased = acclimation

Give her some time.  Her behavior is normal.  Follow stress reducing steps to help her along such as blocking the sides and front of her enclosure to make her feel more secure.

Mine took 3 weeks to settle in. After that initial period of a lack of appetite he was soon gobbling down loads of the little blighters!
