Hello, I'm new to posting here but I've read so much information here so I decided to sign up. I got my dragon little over a week ago, have since fed her 10 small crickets a day dusted with calcium. Been working on bonding. Will let me pet her head. Not to much on the holding stage yet. I think she's like 3 months old and seems active and healthy. Won't eat her greens at all much. I try my hardest. I'm just saying she cuz I'm just guessing haha. But any info would be helpful. Also the store is out of small crickets till Friday. What should I do. I'm giving her a couple meal worms for today. I'm hoping that's fine. I've heard different opinions. Thanks guys.

Hi, if she is only 3 months old do not give her meal worms as the shell is to hard for them (as I found out when I got Finn). From what I have learned silkworms are best although I have been struggling to get them in Northern Ireland. She will feed mostly on live food of which crickets can be a staple and try to get her to eat a few greens if you can but don't worry if it takes a while for her to eat greens. Try putting worms in with the greens as she will pick some up while trying to get the worms (hopefully).
