At what age will my baby dragon start eating salad?

That's difficult to say. Some breeders have their babies eating greens very young, while others don't even bother.
It also depends on the dragon itself. You can talk to lllReptiles and ask them if he/she is eating any greens yet. Otherwise you may still need to break them into it.

i was expecting getting him to eat the baby food would be hard but he jumped right into it and he is doing good with his veggies... i drop them in there and he looks are them for awhile like he is debating it and then picks it up and chomps it down... he is progressing so well and the dubia should be in tomorrow so im hoping he keeps up!!!

That's great! Glad it's working out for you.

i love feeding him it too! it like a great bonding time because i feed him and he licks it off my finger and chomps it down and i clean up his face and neck before he swears it on the platform i feed him on and then he just sits with his neck in the air with squinted eyes as i wipe up what is left of his messy meal... then he gets a nic bath and after every bath comes cuddle time... at this very moment he is sleeping in this perfect size cloth scrap that i found for him and he's sleeping on my side and i just can't bring myself to move him and go take care of clothes or re-position him so i don't have to type so awkward...but holding my elbow up in the air in an uncomfortable way is so worth it when i look down at him snuggling inside "his blanket"... right now i really should be setting up my tub for my dubia colony but i am going to take advantage of every moment i have to cuddle with my little Kovu <3 :love5:

Quick input. But the BEST dish for dubia is a small stainless steel cat food dish. They cant escape it works great.

yeah i saw someone use one of those one but it will be too big for my beardie at his size now...
