Wondering what you guys are feeding your dragons as staples and treats. I’ve been using Dubia roaches as a staple for about 2 months now. He loves them! I hear they get bored eating the same thing so I’ve tried giving him hornworms which he didn’t even touch. Crickets he barely wants. Waxworms he will eat maybe 1. So I’m wondering what else I could maybe give him to spice it up a little bit. He’s 3 months old. About 10 inches long.

This is just a little staple and treat list, they can get bored of eating the same thing over and over. I'd suggest trying black soldier fly larvae added into his diet as a staple.
Staple feeders - Crickets, locusts, grasshoppers, silkworms, black soldier fly larvae, dubia roaches, turkish roaches, possibly earthworms.
Treat feeders - Waxworms, hornworms, superworms, mealworms, butterworms.
Wax worms - once a week, 4-5 max.
Hornworms - every other day to every two days, 4-6 max.
Mealworms - every other day to every two days, 5-10 max. Only for beardies above 6 months.
Superworms - once or twice a week, 3-4 max. Only for beardies above 12 months.
Butterworms - once or twice a week, 3-4 max.
