Need help!- New Bearded Dragon (baby)

Ignore the kale thing its a great staple feeder --- please do not feed the dried canned jarred food - it dries them out and its not really good food to feed -- there are better choices to feed like fresh I posted the nutrition website --- feeding live insects and worms are best as well ---
So you got the UVB -- distance and placement is key here if you need help please ask

Yeah I pretty sure kales fine I have fed a bit to frank and he HATES IT

When i decorated Freyja's enclosure i put some plastic decorations in there from walmart some were of vegetables like a red cabbage i didn't think much of it until when she became hungry she started licking the fake plants with the colors and types she is craving. She licked the red cabbage for 3 days i laughed went and got red cabbage and it's been her favorite then she licked all the green plants so I fed her turnip greens, mustard greens, and collared greens. It's strange but my baby is communicating what she's wanting each day to me lol she licks the rocks for roaches. Your dragon probably wants fresh food not that store bought garbage. Visual light (non uvb) increases appetite stimulation make sure the enclosure is well lit and that it's 90-100 degrees in half of the enclosure and basking is 110-114 (124 is when burns begin) babies need to be hot. The lowest temp in mine is 84 degrees and despite people saying 75 is okay I've been warned against letting her be that cold this young because of RI. I'm no professional and new to keeping dragons as well so take my info with a grain of salt it's the things I've learned and gathered that are working well here.

Ok, thank you!! His temperatures are great during the day, but drop a little low at night. I'll keep an eye on it. I am definitely going to look around for some fresh insects ASAP. I am in Texas and the weather crap has been weird so things are just starting to open back up!
