Pets mart does not care for there animals very well and he could be sick with something. And if they said they don't know if he eats then they don't know if he was getting his vitamins, crickets can rub that stuff off pretty fast. And at this stage in his life vitamins are crucial for him. And yes you are right that babies and juveniles are pretty active when it comes to food, all of mine would chase there food down when they were young but now they wait till I bring the food right in front of there face. If you cover 3 sides it can help him settle faster, and again if nothing changes in the next few days I would consider returning him. For the fibre being packed down it should be ok, I pack mine good and they can burrow into pretty easily. It almost forms a little mound around were he's burrowed and makes it very easy to spot were he has buried himself.
