My beardie is 4 or 5 months old (that's my guess the pet sore had no idea of her age when I got her) she will NOT touch fruits or veggies. I have tried kale, lettuce, carrot greens, carrots, strawberries, kiwi, mango, melon, blueberries, cucumber, bananas, bell peppers, and many others. I have to get her eating something other than insects. Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated.

Please get some BSFL www.symtonbsf.com order large DO NOT dust them they are calcium enriched -- feed as many as you want they are a great staple feeder and lure to the salad bowl --- feed first thing in the morning drop them in a glass or ceramic bowl on top of her salads one that they cannot escape from in front of her hand feed her a couple of them -- something like this
https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
let her eat from that bowl for like a hour or so then add your main staple feeder in the bowl - she should be getting bites of salad w/ those BSFL -- rinse the greens before serving so she gets hydration from the greens -- we need her eating some salad -- please NO lettuce - it has no nutritional value turnip greens and collards along w/ your kale is good --- limit the fruit and cucumbers are really no value either - here is website for nutrition - ignore the kale thing on it its a great staple feeder http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

By lettuce I mean a spring mix with spinach not iceberg or romaine. Also I keep seeing mixed info on how much to feed. Some places say limit the food some places say let her eat as much as she wants in a 15 min span. Any advice on that?

Yes they say 10-15 for insects but feed her the bsfl and salads first then the insects - if she goes for the bsfl she will get some salad too
