I have to mostly agree with the thought that the 20 % insect to 80% veg. ratio is not realistic. Both bugs + veg. are important and some dragons love a big salad while others don't. Feeding a number of insects a week, without over doing it is the key.[ you'll never see a fat beardie in the wild, or even one that has anywhere near the heft of most captive dragons ]

So for adults, whether it be feeding 7-8 insects 3X a week or 2-3 insects every day ,[ depending on the size of the insect ] is more realistic, along with whatever greens you can get them to eat. The insects should be gutloaded with high quality veggies as much as possible.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
