thats a big cage for such a little dude! i wouldn't worry about it. dragons in general are very hardy, and aussies are especially hardy. they really don't eat a lot of greens and veggies. if they will eat it, which they usually don't, it should only make up about 10% of their diet- at the most. not saying you should give up on that idea, but try more squiggly stuff. at that size i would keep trying the mealworms and superworms, the squiggling really gets them interested. maybe try other worms, like earthworms and stuff. try crickets and it might even be big enough for a pinky mouse. i would just wait and see what happens. you could put it in a smaller tank so you can monitor better and stuff. make sure it's drinking cause they drink A LOT. mist as often as you think, at least 1-2 times a day. make sure the temps don't get below 60F at night and give a basking spot of at least 90F. just keep offering food, but don't let it build up in the tank. good luck!
