Question
hi, i just got a sub adult bearded dragon. I would like to know if he eats like an adult or like a juvenile? more greens than insects or is it the other way around? I've tried kale and some collards but he wont eat.
Thanks

Answer
Hello Andres,

At his age, he needs to be eating mostly greens/veggies but if he is around 1 year then you can reduce his insect number to around 50 or so per week.  
He could still grow more so if he is in a growing spurt be careful not to reduce his protein too soon on him.
What is his length & weight?
