Hello, I am picking up my 8-month-old beardie this Sunday. I was planning to feed him a kind of fruit salad once a week consisting of Kale, basil, banana, apple and blackberries. And the other days just a regular salad consisting of rocket, basil and kale. But I am afraid he will not touch the greens does anyone know what I can add to his regular salad that I will be feeding him 6 days a week. Or if I am just in-experienced and am doing it wrong, please let me know what to change about that.

PS:
I will be feeding him as many crickets as he can eat in 10 mins 3 times a week. And a couple locusts at the weekend, just as a treat.

Thanks, kind regards
Charlie

I would concentrate on 2 to 3 live insect feedings a day. Its nice to give them a salad too, don't worry if he does not eat his veggies.

This a a good link for veggies

I little fruit is ok, not too much.

I keep that bookmark on my iPhone so I know what to try when I'm at the grocery store.

Make sure the temperatures & UVB are correct and the viv is set up properly. Very good idea to do your homework BEFORE collecting the young dragon.

These will help :

Feeding : viewtopic.php?f=18&t=237167 . TWO meals live insects per day for an 8 month old juvenile bearded dragon , off greens but don't obsess if they are not eaten (simply use the uneaten greens to gut load the feeder insects).

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