He’s 1 so an adult, i try and give him kale, and dust calcium and hoopers but i never know what to put with the kale! Would you say it’s best to prep a salad all for the week in one go?
You can if you want put it in a ziploc bag or food container - see how it goes -- look at the website on posted for you and go from there --- you need to find something he likes - have you tried using BSFL on top of the salads as lures or silk worms - super worms only use 2 to get him to the bowl - you dont want him hooked on those as they are treat worms -- silks are a staple as well as the BSFL - he should only be getting the main staple insect 2-3 times per week

It took my dragon forever to eat a salad. She eats Kale daily now usually twice a day, just be sure to break the pieces so it's not as wide as your dragon's head is so they can swallow it. Also I usually put a few worms in the salad so she sees them and draws her to it...
