I'm worried about 1 of my baby beardies?

Question

Last week we got 2 bearded dragons from petsmart they r about 4 inches and I'm really worried about 1 of them. I feel like he looks really bloated like his stomach is less flat and a little on the rounder side. We give them each about 5 sm crickets a day and he eats them really fast and the other 1 is a lot more passive about hunting. When I fed them today Reptar ate 4 really quickly and I noticed his stomach looked a little bloated I put some water on his snout and he drank it. Could he just b bloated cuz he ate so fast or should I be worried about it? Also what kind of veggies would b the best to get them? We go them the juvinial food but they don't really eat it so I was going to get them some fresh veggies

The first thing you should check out if they are bloated is the last time they have pooped. He may just be a little bloated from the meal. If his bloating doesn't go down you can get a container of water or if they are big you can use the bath tub and fill it up with a lukewarm water so that it should cover just up to their shoulders. The water will help them become un bloated. I give my dragons baths like this every week seeing as though they enjoy it, its good for their skin, and it can help bloating. One thing to be careful of is drowning though. They tend to put their heads under water and swim which is no problem but make sure they come up for air! Hope this helped and I hope your beardie feels better!

As long as he goes to the bathroom in the next day or so he should be fine.
if he doesnt, set him in some warm water until he does.
