OK so I have read on numerous sights that baby dragon eat like 30-60 crickets or roaches a day. Mine eats like 10-12 a day and is just absolutely done after that. Thoughts?

Depends on what the size of the crickets and roaches are. Every dragon is different. My girl used to eat 20 small crickets 3X a day. As she grew and the size of crickets got bigger she ate less and less often. My boy used to only eat 2 times a day and about 15 at a time. I could never get him to want to eat anything after 3pm!
I read somewhere that one roach is equal to like 5 crickets or something like that so it's possible that when yours eats roaches it fills up on a small amount.
Make sure that your basking temp is 110-115 degrees to help digestion and make sure your UVB is current. Those are 2 things that could mess with their desire to eat.
