My dragon is around 11.5 inches 4/5 months. I know I should be transitioning her into greens which I am. How many crickets and meal worms should I be feeding her. She can easily eat 60 crickets in the morning.

She is still very young so her diet should stay 80 percent bugs

Is she eating the greens now? --- get some BSFL from here www.symtonbsf.com order large DO NOT DUST--- add to the top of the salads first thing in the morning in front of her - feed as many as you want they are a great staple feeder -- feed those before you feed the crickets --- I would also recommend getting her over on dubia roaches they are a better feeder than crickets --- www.dubiaroaches.com order the insect no bigger than the space between the eyes length wise --- please stop w/ the meal worms they can cause impaction w/ babies --- wait till shes closer to a year old for those -- you can feed her some medium super worms 1-3 top of salads every other day -- are you dusting the crickets? They should be dusted w/ calcium D3 5 x per week ONCE per feeding --- calcium w/ beta carotene ONCE per feeding 2 x per week --- make sure basking temps are 105-110 taken w / a digital probe thermometer and your using a long tube fixture for a UVB NO coils if you need help w/ that please ask ---- the basking temps and UVB are the MOST IMPORTANT THING in the tank

Feed as many as you want - they are great staple feeders for babies and if your supplementing dubia or crickets the baby wont eat as many -- I fed Blaze around 20 or so on top of his salads every morning then fed dubias about a hr later --- but I also added medium super worms 1-3 every other day as well - and he was eating some of his salads not a lot but I was happy he was eating them period--- that is the main way they get hydration - you want your main insect gut loaded so they are hydrated too - best thing to do is feed them at night so when feeding in the morning the insect is good and hydrated too --- good hydration are either water crystals or pellets carrots DO NOT FEED THE DRAGON carrots and squash -
