Hey guys! This is my first time posting on here and I will provide some background about my beardie and things like that but if I miss anything, please feel free to ask anything about him or his setup! So I have a 3 year old male german giant, he is 24 inches long from head to tail and weighs roughly 900 grams. He LOVES his bugs and is given a variety including dubia roaches (which i breed), super worms, bsfl and occasionally hornworms and waxworms! I purchase all of my bugs from Dubia.com and gutload with leafy greens (kale, collard greens and mustard greens) He typically eats 6-8 large bugs a day and is offered salad every day. His salads consist of those same leafy greens and sometimes bell peppers, arugula, parsley, tomato (very rare), strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and raspberries. Typically when given a salad he will refuse to eat any type of green (or veggie for that matter) and just picks out bananas and raspberries. Since those aren't super good for him I have cut back on how much hes getting and how often. I give him 2-3 every few weeks now. He still refuses to eat his greens. I have tried no calcium, calcium, flavored calcium, bee pollen. nothing!!! However, if the greens are left for a few days and dry out, he will then decide to eat the crunchy green chips. I thought this was odd but decided to ask on here, should I let him eat the dried out greens or is this bad for him? What other things should I try to make him want his greens? He poops every few days and always has a white urate and solid poop (not runny but not a rock) I am also going to attach some photos of him just to introduce him. His name is Buddha due to his very large belly! He also loves his ducky friend and enjoys going for walks in his stroller! We have never had any health issues but I want to make sure everything is done correctly to prevent any health issues! I have had him since he was around a year old!
