Longtailed grass lizards eat small insects. In captivity, they should be given 1/4 inch or smaller crickets, dusted with calcium powder containing vitamin D3. They may also appreciate giant flightless fruit flies (D. hydei).

Supplements and proper lighting also factor into proper nutrition for these lizards. Like all diurnal lizards, they should have a UVB producing reptile light. Once a week, use a quality vitamin powder containing preformed vitamin A, instead of calcium, on their insects.

Babies and juveniles should be fed daily, and adults should be fed every other day.

Remember that food cannot be digested without proper temperatures, and refer to your book on care, and care sheets, for information on proper temperatures, caging, cage furnishings, and water source.
