Enrichment, just like for animals in zoos, can help stimulate, challenge and overall improve the health and welfare of our pets. This is a really good read and has gotten me thinking of some new things to try with my critters.

This video is also great, and would be a small thing to try!

Some ideas for dragons:
food puzzles and novel food presentations such as putting food in different places, a loose lid on the insect bowl with treat worms inside, whole plants instead of chopped salad, hang greens leaves overhead,the cat toy roach dispenser from the video above
Climbing structures, of course I always promote larger cages and a variety of decor, but if the cage doesn't allow it maybe something outside the cage with a heat lamp and a good view.
Digging areas, if your not comfortable with a loose material like soil maybe dried leaves, dried greens, shredded paper, blankets or alfalfa pellets
Using a drip system to fill up the water dish (just to full, not over flowing) instead of just adding water and letting it sit.
