My dragon is now 3 and a half mos old. He is still eating crickets but he will really eat greens well. I understand that when they get older they should eat more greens then crickets, but how old before they start doing this. I give him crickets at dinner time. I give him salad in the morning to eat all day. Then he gets his crickets...about 10 or so then he gets more salad in the evening. Thanks

They should have a diet of 90% protein 10% vegetables/greens/fruit until they are around one year old then they should eat 10-20% protein and mostly vegetables/greens/fruit.
10 crickets is not much for a young beardie--they need a lot more protein than that as they are growing fast at this age. Drako ate 20-30 crickets (sometimes more) a day until he was close to a year old.
You are fortunate to have a baby who likes vegies--just offer more protein for a few more months.
