Diet Question

[JaNech]

I have a bearded dragon about 10 inches lon. It prefers greens over crickets. Is this normal?

Some prefer crickets over greens or greens over crickets, it's normal
You just have to keep offering them
Babies tend to lean more towards crickets while adults towards greens but it can go either way

I agree with Maisie, but another thing you could try are Dubia Roaches. My little guy didn't like crickets much because they were hard for him to catch. Until I was able to buy roaches for him, I just ripped the bigger legs off the crickets. You could try that.

Yep every dragon is different and they can also change their minds quickly I usually have a variety of bugs for mine..

Good idea to offer a variety of bugs especially since babies need more protein. It is great though that he is eating salad.
