Malygos - our first Beardie.
When we first got him about a week ago we where told by the petshop that we can feed him about 5 crickets every 2 days.
We did some research before we went out and got him and knew this was not true. This being said I don't really know his age as they might have been somewhat underfed. He has since been eating better every day between 8 and 12 crickets a day {dusted} yet to get him on a multi-vitamin for weekends. [The crickets we give him has to be semi frozen so they dont move and placed close to him {in his sight} he will then eat them as they start to move again.
He gets fresh water every day treated with Repti-save, as well as the juvenile pellets and a "salad"
A mix of greens altered every 3 days made up of diffident food types from the list found at
http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html
{Not that he has shown any interest in the salad or pellets.}
Any tips on how to get him interested in salad, or is it OK to just have it in the cage and wait for him to, possibly one day decide to eat some.
I'm adding some Pics If theres any one that can spot something or has some hints please let me know Here is a link to a web album with more up to date Pics of Malygos. Please go have a look.

I know its a long post but I believe there will be many more to come, as I really want to give Malygos the best care possible. {so he can grow to live a long and healthy life.}
Thanks )
