I would offer just greens. Add vegetables later after he starts eating the greens regularly. Dragons eat mostly live food when they are small. I would make a salad and leave it in his enclosure all day between live feedings. He will start eating it in his own time. My suggestion would be to offer mustard greens and romaine. That's what I start with then I take out the romaine and replace it with other greens like dandelion, chicory, turnip greens, collard greens, and escarole.
