Your beardie might just need to settle in for a few days.

When I got my girl, she wouldnt eat, so I took the following advice. It might help you.

You can put a few drops of water on his snout (with an eye dropper or your finger) to get him to lick and drink, as that helps appepite. Otherwise take him out and lightly mist him with warm water.

Get a separate plastic tub for feeding, and put your beardie in this in the enclosure, a little towards the warm end.
Leave him alone for 10 mins, then drop in a few dusted crickets (you can slow them down in the fridge for a few minutes before). Cover the enclosure and leave beardie alone for 10 mins and see if he has eaten.

They soon get the hang of it. Just make sure your temps are right, and he is warm before and after eating.
