I just got my bearded dragon today. I don't know his exact age, but he's a juvenile. We got him from craigslist-- lights, cage, everything included. It's a 20 gallon tank. The old owner had him on a sand substrate, along with a coil UVB(I think) and an orange-ish basking light. We're getting in a mercury vapor bulb and an Exo terra "sand mat" on Friday.
I managed to hand-feed him 2 small bits of kale(which the old owner provided, but then I threw all the kale out because it was 3 days expired.)
We just bought him collard greens today, so they will be in his salad tomorrow morning.
I then managed to hand-feed him about 4 small crickets. They were zoo-med's canned mini crickets.
How long will it take him to start eating his greens and crickets by himself? I don't want him to rely on me to hand feed him everyday. I know he's scared, being in a new place and all. Any tips? He pooped today, so that was good.
