Any suggestions on how to get a 4yr old beardie to eat more veggies? If it's not moving he doesn't touch it

Get some BSFL and some super worms add them to the tops of the salads- drop them in the bowl in front of him - you will need a bowl like this to keep them in it https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
the movement will get his attention and lure him to the bowl - use as many as you want for the BSFL they are a staple feeder order large and do not dust them -- keep offering everyday the salads - is he eating them at all or just not as much as you like?

Not at all. He always gets fresh kale and we try different cut up veg and fruit but it just sits there. Tried putting worms on it too with no luck. Have a bowl like that. He lives dandelions and tried sprinkling that on the veg too. Nothing works!

It's great he'll eat them but it's a seasonal veggie so if like to get him to eat others. He's so picky, will only eat if hand fed. I actually wonder if he's near blind.

Take a worm and wrap it in a piece of collard green or turnip green and see if you can get him to eat it that way - the worm will be wiggling and he should go for it --
