He needs protein and dubias are great -- you can order them on line from http://www.dubiaroaches.com he can eat probably small medium I am guessing - they need to be dusted w/ calcium D3 5 x per week and 2 x per week vitamins --- dont listen to the pet store people they have not a clue as to what they are talking about ---------no meal worms --- you can feed butter worms horn worms --- the site I gave you has all kinds of stuff for your dragon --- check out that site --- there are other sites as well that carry dubias etc.............. http://www.abdragons.com --- you can also feed BSFL they are real small and calcium rich -- here is a site for them -- www.https://symtonbsf.com/-- for now I would get small crickets and feed him but I do recommend the dubias --- they are way better for him and they dont stink or chirp like crickets -- you can keep them in a 10 gallon tank or a tote and feed them dubia food - carrots squash apples strawberrties etc for water --- Dom you have a UVB ? I cant see it in the pictures

Have you weighed him recently ?

I give large BSFL , medium silkworms (30mm long) and medium sized (1/3 to 2/3 sized) crickets to my 5 and 6 months olds.

My girl Cleo is 60g ( and about 6 months old) and my boy Caesar is 120g (and about 7 months old) .

He gets large (2.5"-3" long) silkworms and will happily tuck away 3 or 4 in season if I let him.

I restrict them to a max of 2 silkworms per day & a mix of crickets and BSLF.
Neither are keen on the greens atm.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
