Our beardie "Rocky" is approx 5 mo old and is almost 18" to end of tail. We've had him since he was 1 1/2 mo. He's a voracious cricket consumer, at least 50 a day in two feedings. I dust them every 3 days or so as well. But, he eats almost no veggies, just picks a little at them. I give him fresh greens,carrot,squash,fruit pieces every day and not much interest. He seems content and poops at least twice a day.
Is this OK?
Appreciate your help!

Babies and young dragons are more carnivorous than older dragons and tend to eat more insects than veggies. I might suggest you add leafier veggies to encourage him to eat. Baby spring green mix is a good start to small leafy easy to chew veggies that might help.
