Salad can be feed almost exclusively to adults (almost no bugs). And some recomend that. You can let it eat as much as the adult pleases. For growing dragons I would let it eat all it wants for a few hours then not give it more. Want it to get the animal protien of bugs later on.

poo looks ok as well if you see what you may think might be waaaaaay too much salad, or anything for that matter. From what I understand parasites can sometimes act like an appetite stimulant. That's not to say growing youngen's won't surprise you how much they eat. I guess what I'm saying is if it was an adult and suddenly had a steady, major increase in diet to watch closely for signs of parasites.

At the same time I may now know what the heck I'm talking about so ignore this if there's no additional supporting opinions !!
