Bearded dragons and Feeding

Question
I just recently recieved a hatchling bearded dragon and he does not seem to be interested in eating either greens or insects.. could you suggest what i should do about this?

Answer
Alec,                                                        While he is so small stick to very small crickets try to feed 3-4 times a day. Still offer the greens. I would suggest collards. Chop them very small or run them thru a food processor real quick. Make sure your enclosure is small right now so he can find his prey, Remove any uneaten crickets at the end of the night so they don't stress him out while he is trying to sleep. Good Luck,Tina
