Yes, offer chopped up greens daily in the morning leave it in the tank all day for them to pick on. Put some colorful veggies on top sweet potato, squash, carrot, apples seems to attract them to it. At that age they wont eat a lot of veggies, but it is important for them to get a taste for them. At that age all my dragons were getting two feedings of crickets daily. A salad in the morning, and about 20-40 crickets daily. I basically offered them as much as they would eat. As they got older I fed the crickets later in the day so they would eat some veggies first.
