For a baby the age of the one you have, live feeders are the most important right now. It's still a good idea to offer fresh green & veggies daily though of a healthy choice like collards, mustard greens, escarole, endive, turnip greens, dandelion, all kinds of squash, etc. Best to stay away from all lettuces because they are mostly water and offer very little nutrition and can actually cause diarrhea. The greens and squash that I mentioned have a high nutritional content and are also high in calcium & vitamins, so it's what they need. But, like I said, if your beardie doesn't prefer to eat many good greens right now, it's not as much of a concern as it would be if he was an adult. Hope that helps.
