I believe that the key to sucessfully keeping ANY animal is to offer as much of a variety of foods as possible. This works especailly well with reptiles because they are much more akin to storing various nutrients over time and a variety of foods gets them most of everything they will need to be healthy.

The staple diet of any bearded dragon should be to offer them greens (turnip, collards, mustards, kale, cactus pad) every day and as much as they want. Avoid Spinach altogether, its not good for them, just trust me. They will also enjoy crickets, mealworms, waxworms, silkworms, etc. Remember offering a variety is key.

So for example, monday through thursday I'll give him greens in the morning, and crickets in the late afternoon. Once I run out of crickets, I'll give him superworms for a few days. Then I'll go to waxworms for a day as a treat. Then repeat the cycle. Its not like I have every kind of insect on hand at all times.

A baby bearded dragon is best fed anywhere from 15-20 small crickets A DAY. Yes, the first 6 months of this dragons life is going to be more expensive than any other time. Just tough it out, you'll be rewarded later. Offer them as many greens a day as they like, daily. I like to do greens in the morning because they tend to be more hungry at this time and it makes them more willing to eat their greens, which is important.

Don't hesitate to PM me if u have any other questions.
