So folks, how on earth do you get a juvenile beardie (14 weeks) ish, eating veggies, salads etc etc.

I have read that i should feed insects 5 days no food on the 6th and then feed veggies on the 7th so she really hungry, not sure this is a good idea is it?

Shes a fussy sod and im struggling to get her to eat anything, i back after a few hours and the greens are all shrivelled from the heat.

Cheers

Juveniles are still growing so they require greens three times a day, every day, and crickets every day until they're adult.

There are many articles that are misleading and will tell you wrong things.

Keep offering him/her greens every day (They'll go to them if they're really hungry) Myah's still a baby and is only 8 inches. She's showed signs of going after her greens and wants her crickets.

Little ones need more protein to grow, don't stop giving them live prey. Give salad every day eventually they will eat it. Some people have luck putting worms in their salads but some dragons are smart and eat around the salad! Don't get discouraged, she will eat salad when she is ready. I have a 19th month old dragon that doesn't like salad, I still give it to her every day in hopes she will eat a little bit of it.
