Eating veggies

[madmike88]

I rescued a female beardie and the previous owners only get tried feeding it crickets and nothing else. But she loves wax worms meal worms and all that good stuff but I've been trying to get her to eat some veggies but she's not having it at all. Anyone else have issues like this is there anything I could try to do to get her to eat some veggies or do I just suck it up and keep feeding her all the worms

I have one beardie that loves his salad and one that doesn't really care for it. Just keep trying different things until something clicks with her. This sounds funny but feed her different shaped food. Like if you usually chop up green peppers into small pieces, try real thin slices instead. I noticed with my beardie, she LOVES blueberries and doesn't really eat anything else. I noticed the other day that she likes the way they roll around the tank, almost like they are alive to her.

I put buggies in my boys salad and he would start eating it because it looked like the salad was moving on its own sometimes. I started doing less and less bugs and now I don't have to put in any bugs to get him to eat the salad.

Don't give up and just keep trying different things. I never thought viserion would ever eat the salad when I tried it by itself. But after I started with the bugs he would start eating it and then now I don't have to add any bugs and right when I put the salad in his tank he will run right for it now

My trick is to put worms with the veggies and have her eat the veggies on accident. Then they will get use to eating veggies. That is how I got my beardie to eat veggies.

Learning that Luci only likes mustard greens and will devour a bowl of them while picking around the other veggies.
