My bearded dragon is about 15 inches and roughly 5/6 months old. I was feeding him crickets but decided to switch to Dubia Roaches recently. When he had crickets he would eat twice a day. Now that he is eating Dubias he only eats once a day sometimes he’ll eat twice. He will eat about 7-10 Dubias during the first meal. I am just worried that since he is still young that he is not getting enough insects. I just want some reassurance that it is okay and if not how can I get him to eat more. And I give him a daily salad and he does munch on that throughout the day.

It sounds like he's fine. It's especially good that he's munching on his salad a bit. Their appetites fluctuate so just keep food available and he'll take what he wants. If he's still eating daily, even if it's less, that's fine.

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!
