Hatchling beardies should be eating around 20 pin heads a day, and should be eating greens from 3 days of age (barbata's eat little greens though). More smaller is better than less bigger. refrain from larger food item's as long as possible, and as far as greens, I feed only clover leaves and flower petals till thay have tripled in size. Slow eating often means trouble digesting (almost impaction). Impaction can be caused from anything from grated carrot, large insects, the rubble in the cricket containers and even dried faeces. Incorrect heating will also cause sluggish behaiviour. A dragon that eat's only a couple of bugs a day will end up stunted with metobolic bone desease.
