Which brand of pellets are they? Most pellets need to be soaked prior to feeding. They absorb the water and become spongy. I put mine in a cup and fill it with warm, not hot water. If you use cold, it takes longer to soften them. Then put your hand over the top of the cup and drain the extra water and put them over the veggies.
The only brand I have been able to get mine to eat is Repcal. I have tried a couple others, some get too mushy and disintegrate when you soak them, others they just won't touch. Repcal gets my vote.
Yes, put them over the veggies every day.
Hope that helps.

Sorry, I missed the amount part.
If it's only needs to feed one dragon, I would only use one to two TBLS.
I am feeding whole or half clutches so I use enough to cover the entire salad.
