Dust the roaches 5 x per week ONCE per feeding w/ D3 lightly coated - your UVB is going to help the dragon synthesize / absorb the calcium as long as its the long tube fixture this is extremely important w/ distance and placement as well - multivitamin 2 x per week ONCE per feeding lightly coated - you can use a container like an old potato salad container mac salad something like that so you can shake the roaches -to coat them

How many times a day do I feed him and how much?

For a baby, one to two times a day is fine for protein. Offer a fresh salad every day though. Babies should be eating their salads too.

As far as quantity, that depends on the size of the insect and what insect it is. You don't want to let him gorge himself, but you will get a feel for when he's had his fill.

I would get him some BSFL use those as lures www.symtonbsf.com -- use 20-25 drop them on top of his salads first thing in the morning - use your dubias as your main staple feeder - use a bowl like https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d this it will keep the BSFL in and also small dubias - you want him eating at least some of his salads for now -- at a year old its going to change where hes eating mainly salads and insects 2-3 times per week -- after hes had time to eat the BSFL and some salad then drop some dubias in the bowl - you can also use silk worms another good staple and they stick to everything -- www.reptilianarts.com -- and you can use super worms for treats to get him to the bowl -- only use those 2-3 times per week - horn worms are good as well -- they grow very fast so you will need to feed them off right away 1-2
