"He's 5 days old, but I was told he was eating fine when I purchased him, but I haven't really seen him eat much since we got him"
First of, I can't believe someone sold you a baby that is only 5 days old. That is unreal!!!!
Second, for them to say that he was eating fine before you got him is a "crock of crap" (Sorry, couldn't think of a better phrase) Generally speaking beardies don't eat till about 3 days old and even then it is a VERY small amount of food.
I suggest making sure his basking temps are nice and warm and about 110. Chop up greens into pieces that are about "dime size", offer some soaked pellets and MAKE SURE the crix are no bigger than 1/4"
Feel free to email me if you have any questions. I also have a feeding guide listed on my site that you might find helpful
