I sorta have 2 questions
Question #1: I have an 5 inch beardie and i can only feed him 3 times a day. How many 1/4 inch crickets should i feed her each feeding.
Question #2: Can some give me a list of all good greenies i bought the all wrong kind(Cabbage(heard this was a big no no),Cauli(heard that one was bad)and Broccli though that one was for me). So for lunch i had very healthy salad.

Offer as much crickets as the dragon will eat in 10-15 minutes. After a few feedings you will get an ideal how much he likes to eat.

Good greens: dandelion, collard, mustard, endive, escaroli, mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, stringbeans) chop everything finely, for babies.

what my beardie seems to enjoy is parsley and kiwi (or rasberry) put in a food processor and mixed together, and just sprinkle some of the dark green top parts of the broccoli over it. I also handfeed him Bok Choy which he LOVES.

Edible flowers...roses and such are a nice treat as well.
