What fruit does your beardie like?

[KrissyLeigh]

Looking for inspiration - my Skittles HATES fruit. I think I've tried the obvious fruits - blueberries, strawberries, apple... if I mix them in the greens he figures it out and will go on hunger strike for the day!!!

Luckily he is good about eating his greens and vegetables, and I supplement his food with a vitamin, so it's not like he is in dire need. Just want to diversify his diet some! Thanks for the input y'all!!!

Try to put a treat under the fruit, or something that he/she enjoys, Skittles may eat the fruit to get to the treat or insect, hope it works!

I wouldn't worry too much about the fruit as you don't want them to have too much sugar.. so the more greens the better. My youngest LOVES blackberries my older one could care less for fruit.

Yes they do have natural sugar in them, so I wouldn't really always give them fruit, mostly veggies and greens.

Don't worry too much about the fruit. Mine love blueberries. Even Dexter who won't eat any veggies will flip for a blueberry. It seems like each of my dragons has a different preference. My boy doesn't like anything but blueberries. Both girls will eat a strawberry. Dolly absolutely loves mango if I cut it into strips and hold it for her to eat. Papaya and watermelon used to be ones they liked.

I tried blackerberries once... it was a massacre! I don't think he actually ate any - instead he smeared the juice all over the cage and himself like a toddler with their first set of finger paints! Totally freaked me out until I realized he was covered in blackberry juice hahaha.

Mine tolerates cantaloupe, strawberries, and most anything, but prefers to pick out the insects.

I roll blueberries across the floor. He loves it. Makes a bloody mess though lol

How old is your baby? Bella is about 7 months and isn't interested in fruit yet.

Check out the website beautifuldragons.com there is a great nutrition chart there that will give you ideas of what to feed. Fruit is always an occasional item. It’s condidered a treat because it’s high in sugar. Babies don’t always like veggies at first and are more interested in bugs.
