Question Beardie not looking good today

Well Ive had my Beardie now for 2 weeks and he/she has been doing really good. Right now hes about 2 and a half months old. Eats between 30-45 crickets a day depending on the size of the cricket. I usually, first thing in the morning put in a salad, which he usually doesnt touch, atleast that I know of, and give him crickets 3 times a day. Well I gave him his usually first cricket feeding this morning and he wasnt interested at all in them. Sometimes he doesnt see me put them in his cage so I show them to him in my hand and then he goes nuts. Most of the time though he does spot them, jumps right now off his tree and eats them up. Anways this morning I offered him crickets and he ate one, which was definately unusual. Well at his second cricket feeding today, again no interest and this time he only ate 2. Well I just offered him his last feeding of the night, and yet again, no interest and only ate one out of my hand. And also usually all day he looks very health, when basking holding his head up high and just looks all around good. Today to go on top of not eating he was very sleeping looking and had his head down alot.

So...Maybe Im being a little paranoid, but is this somewhat normal, I mean for them maybe just to have days like this? Obviously I'll keep a close eye on him and see what happens, maybe he'll be back to eating like a horse tommorow.

BTW...He has uva/uvb light, basking temps are 90 in some spots and 120 in other spots, hes usually in the 115-120 spot most of the time. And the cooler side of the tank is 75-80, and i do give calcium and vitamin supplements.

Thanks in advance....
