We have had our 5yr old dragon for over 2months now and he only eats live insects that we feed him he wont touch the veg I put in his cage, Ive tried feeding him all sorts from Bannans to Carrots. He has taking Cucumber out my hands twice since ive had him but apart from that he prefers locust and worms. At this age he should be eating more veg then insects. can anyone help me on this??

most dragons usually do that switch theirself.  However, a little tough love might be in order.

Yep tough love is the answer. I would with hold insects until he starts eating greens and veggies. I had to break a dragon of a super worm addiction once and he went 10 days without eating until he got hungry enough to eat some greens. It was terrible not feeding him bugs but in the long run was better for him.
