Personally, I would go for the beardie juvenile pellets. They may seem hard, but my beardie's never had any problems eating them. At least you'll know that they include things that are all healthy to your dragon.

Never heard of anybody using anole food for dragons. I would stick to the beardie food they are designed around foods, and the amounts of nutrients needed for a healthy dragon diet. With the zoomed soft-pellets that are actually pretty hard for juveniles I usually just put them in my hand and run them under the water for maybe 5 seconds just to moisten them a bit without soaking them so they stay together and not mush. Rep-cal pellets you can actually soak in juice or water for a few minutes to soak them fully and they hold there shape. I feed rep-cal brand to the babies & juveniles because you can fully soften them without getting mush. I feed the adults the zoomed pellets you bought cause I personally like the ingredients better for my adults diets, and they can eat them dry and seem to prefer them over the rep-cal
