Well anything they can get into their mouths is fair game. Try to feed the ocasional grass hoppers collected from a pesticide free area, small pinks(which they can take from a small size) and some kinds of worms such as silk, wax, and meal worms. A small meal of scrambled eggs works for a treat every 2 weeks or so but it makes their poo a bit smelly. Crickets, roaches, and any thing else they can chase and then eat are all good. Good luck and hope to see more pics

go with mostly insect diet until it is large enough o take an occassional pinky. but still keep it on insects until it ignores them. take an interest in breeding feeder roaches and maybe even your own mealworms.
supplement insects and gut load them as well. i offer carrots alot because they don't rot, they just shrivel up dry. mustard greens occasionally because it is higher in calcium than other greens and my dragon eats 'em too.
