Small silkworms, small hornworms, butterworms and pheonix worms would all be good options for staple feeders. Be forewarned though that horns grow REALLY fast! No supers until your dragon is at least 16 inches long, and NO mealworms at all! Wax worms can be offered as an occasional treat (no more than 2 waxies one time per week). Can you keep dubia roaches at your place? They don't climb and can't fly so escaping is not a worry. They also have a body more like a beetle than a roach. And, they are the most nutritious feeder. Here are a couple feeder websites for you to check out:

http://www.greatlakeshornworm.com
http://www.pheonixworm.com

And, if you decide to look into dubias:

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. 😔
