My bearded dragons wont eat.

Question
I got 2 bearded dragons (gender not identified) about 4-5 days ago and when i put them in their vivarium one ate lots of locusts, enough for the two of them. The other one still hasn't eaten a locust while I'm watching it. They will both eat wax worms but they're unhealthy. About a day ago the one who would eat stopped eating locusts and will only eat wax worms. Is it normal for them not to be eating?

Answer
Assuming there is nothing medically wrong w/ them (as I have no way of knowing), not eating is not normal.  BUT!!!  Yours are eating, they are just eating junk food.  Don't give them any for a couple of days and see if they switch back to crickets.  YOu could also get meal or super worms to feed them.
