So I offer my dragon a chopped up salad of collard and dandelion greens every morning at lights on and a few hours later I put a large ceramic bowl that has a nice lip on it making the dubia and reptiworms unable to escape.

He’s about a month+ old, still new to the tank and everything.

My problem is he doesn’t seem to want to eat from the bowl - I usually leave a handful of dubia and reptiworms in there (small enough for him to handle easy) properly dusted etc. and he can always see and looks at the bugs actively in the bowl from his basking spot.

I see a roach or worm missing here and there, and he eats his greens, and he gets about 1mL of butternut squash baby food everyday syringe fed like a diva.

But I thought at this age he would be more hungry and devouring bugs up. If I drop a bug in his viv he sometimes runs and gets it, but his viv has a lot of nooks for the dubia to disappear.

Will he adjust to the bowl and get used to eating as he feels the need to? I work 12 hour shifts so it would be nice so I know he’s fed when I come home and he’s in bed.

He’s super active and poops plenty just see videos of baby dragons eating 100s of bugs.

Their appetites will vary. When he's really hungry he'll likely go after the bowl of bugs but if you have time at one end of the day or another I would try hand feeding him or offering one or two at a time that he can chase after and see if he responds better to that.

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.
