Yay! You go little man. Don't know if you knew this or if someone has already mentioned it but at his size/age he can be offered insects 3x a day. 5 right now is a good improvement especially if they are mediums. Just make sure they are no larger than the space between his eyes. So glad to hear he's grubbing so good now. He is such a handsome little guy ?
Yeah I've tried feeding him about 3 times a day but he seems full and only eats a little bit . He does eat most of his salad throughout the whole day though and goes to the bathroom once a day . Besides Dubias and reptiworms what else should I try and feed him to mix it up ? He doesn't like crickets -.- lol

Dubias and calci worms are excellent, two of the very best. For treats you can include small hornworms, they are a little pricey and I'll warn you they grow super fast. If you get the smalls in a matter of a few days they may be too big for you little guy so I'd only get a small amount at a time. You can also include silkworms, butterworms and as occasional treats waxworms. Once he's a little bigger you can try out small superworms as treats too. I wouldn't use the supers right now however as they can be a little hard for babies to digest.
He looks very healthy so whatever you are doing I'd say keep it up. a few Dubias and calci worms may just be enough to fill him up right now which is perfectly fine. And the fact that he's already eating his salad is mind blowing! My beardie needs to take notes from your little guy lol

Thanks a lot for all the info so far :D I will try and get some more variety worms since the place I buy my Dubias carries lots . And about the salad I gotta thank the breeder I bought him from for getting him used to eating it , he loves his collard greens .

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
