Eating question

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this Q so I hope it reaches you guys here. My beardie isn’t completely against his greens but he’d rather not, given the choice! When hes chomping his bugs is it ok to slip greens into his mouth? I sometimes do this and although he looks slightly pissed at me, they’ll get eaten. And he hangs about to continue feeding with the bugs, he doesn’t move away. I don’t do it so much that I cause him to mistrust me or not enjoy feeding. Just sneak a couple bits in a day.

That's fine, as long as you don't shove them into his mouth too hard. It might be easier to make him a little "burrito" out of some greens with bugs stuffed inside.

Yes, deffo never shoving or forcing, more like the edge or corner of a flat bit of chopped greens, he’ll either lick it and then it will kinda make its way into his mouth via the licking action and he’ll have to end up chomping it or he’ll be chomping a worm or bug and the leaf will be taken with it. I keep referring to him as a him but I’m starting to think he is a she! Hopefully can confirm soon haha
