Like can a baby bearded dragon last a whole week without any crickets. Also can he just survive on greens? Stuff like that

depends how old they are if they are young they should eat everyday but once they are older maybe a day or 2 before you see signs of hunger

Baby bearded dragons only need to eat once a day, some people feed them crickets twice a day, but you could feed them in the morning and they would be fine for the rest of the day. Just make sure They have water at all times and provide an adequate tank for them. Bearded dragons get large and even a 20 or 30 gallon tank is too small. But as a baby it is fine for now. Adult bearded dragons can go without food for a week, maybe more but baby's they can only go a couple days, maybe a week. It just depends on how hungry they are.

NO - a beadrdie cannot live a week without food.
Beardies - all ages - need to be fed fresh food EVERYDAY.
Babies need to be fed several times per day.
Beardies are vegetarians in nature. They do not need crickets to live. In fact, my vet recommends that they do not eat them. It puches them into sexual maturity faster and thus decreases their lifespan. I feed mine only veggies & fruits.

Baby beardies need to be feed daily.
The only lizard that I know of that can go at least a week without food are adult leopard geckos because they store their fat reserves in their tails. They still need water though

get some reptile pellets, mealworms (just pinch there heads off it can eat a hole in there stomach!). crickets are best though because babys need them to survive & can probably only last 2 days. not a week! they will die or get terribly sick!
good luck!!!
