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.

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 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
