[QUOTE="hdochow, post: 2017955, member: 110661"] the nothing but insect thing is pretty normal for that age. it is more important to make sure a salad is offered daily even if they don't eat it right away. thinking back i'm going to say that sir henry was almost 2 before he started eating them consistently. and then one day it was just NOM SALAD!!!! at the end of the day, any salad that is left in his enclosure gets fed to the roaches so he gets the nutrients either way. be careful of doing that if you are feeding the carrots though. too much vitamin A if both the dragon and the bugs get carrots. we usually rotate between dandelion greens (FAVORITE!!!), kale, mustard greens, collard greens, and water cress. then toppers we rotate through yellow squash, various colored bell peppers, and sweet potato. occasionally, because they are high in sugars, he gets fruit and that's usually raspberries or blueberries. we top salads with bee pollen, but we do granules instead of powder cause he hates powders. (we also do liquid calcium and vitamins for the same reason, which also helps with hydration.) i don't think there's any hard fast rotation schedule for the bug part. we started on crickets cause that's what he had when we rescued him, but very quickly stopped buying them. he didn't like them too much, and they're noisy and stink. just nasty little critters in my opinion. his main protein is dubia roaches. we've tried BSFL and he doesn't like them. silks or hornworms he'll eat like crazy, but they are expensive and grow very quickly. mealworms or superworms he gets occasionally, but that's more like going to a fast food restaurant for a treat. sir henry's almost 3 though, so he really only gets bugs 2x a week unless he decides he doesn't even want that much. i see no reason you couldn't rotate between the bugs you mentioned on a schedule, or just based on what your dragon will eat. i can't think of a reason not to offer all 3 in a single day.
