Baby bearded dragon aprox. 1 month

Question
I have just recently gotten a baby bearded dragon, this is my first pet of this type, I placed a synthetic resin log for basking under a heat lamp, and UVB, after the 2nd day I noticed that the synthetic log was almost burning hot at the top and I was worried my dragon has burned himself I know they are susceptible to this, its only been 3 days since we have gotten him, and he seems to be eating crickets still though not as many as I would think he should be, however that may be because he is not settled in to his new home yet... If you have any advice i would appreciate it, I have moved a new log under the lamp, it is wood hopefully it will not get as hot.

Answer
Hello Jennifer,

I would take the synthetic log out.  Replace it with a wooden log or a ceramic type of basking platform since they do not get as hot.  Oh, never mind, you already did put another log there!!  :-))  Great.  I am sure that will work out better.
It does take a couple of weeks usually, to get over their relocation stress after coming into a new home.  
Make sure the crickets are appropriately sized for him.  They should be smaller than the space between the eyes.  
What type of UVB lighting are you using?  A flourescent tube bulb, or a compact or coil light?  What type of basking light do you use?  A bright white light or a colored light?
What do you use to measure the temps with, a stick on thermometer, a digital probe or a temp gun?  What are the temps?
What type of substrate is in his tank?
Are you using calcium supplementation for him?
