At the age your dragon is, he should be getting two feedings of insects a day. To help get him to eat greens, try dropping silkworms or crickets right onto his greens. With finely chopped greens, it will be hard for your dragon not to eat greens along with the insects.

Bearded dragons do enjoy being scratched on their chins and neck area and from how yours is responding, he is enjoying it. It is perfectly normal for them not to flare up often, the fact he isn't indicates he trusts you.

It never really is a good time to introduce new dragons into an already established dragon's cage. Though dragons can get along, there is always a possibility they will not and fighting/domination will occur, stressing one or both dragons. As yours is male, he pretty much has to be alone for his entire life. It is fine to get another dragon but best to house it separate. Later if you decide to breed your dragons, you can introduce a female in with your male long enough for them to mate, then separate again. Females should be at least 15 months old before you try and breed her. The male should be at least a year old and about the same size as the female.
