Question about greens

[Jdcarp]

Hello,

Just wondering if it’s common for a beardie to avoid eating greens at a young age? Mine is around 5 months old and wants nothing to do with greens. I have tried tons of different greens and even some fruits but nothing. Also tried mixing in bee pollen and still no interest. Eats tons of insects, good temps all around. Any tips would be appreciated!

Yep normal - please get him some BSFL top his salads first thing in the morning - use them as lures - I can post a website to order them from - they are a great staple for babies - feed first thing in the morning 20-25 at a time before you feed the main staple

Awesome I’ll try that. I just got some in the mail yesterday.

Also, i have heard that you can grind up some bugs and dip the greens in it to entice the dragon to eat. I haven't had to try it, so I don't know if it really works. My dragon is one of the few who loves his veg.
