Joe, perhaps you could put out some greens in the morning before you leave for work and then bring out the crickets at the end of the day? That way he always has food available and might even start eating two meals a day ;)

I have a problem/question:
My beardie Humphrey was hatched on 5/4, and I brought him home this past Saturday.
He is a great eater when it comes to crickets, BUT I can't seem to get him to eat any greens. So far, I have tried dandelion leaves, and tonight parsley.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions
Thanks

Thanks Bill !!
I found this forum by accident, and I am glad I did...everyone has been helpful and giving me a lot of good advice.
Should I just keep trying, or is there anything else, that he might like better ??
Just posted one picture of him the other day, but I took my disposable camera today to wal mart, and will have some neat pictures in a week ( I hope ).

try this list. its the same as others its just the one i have saved. my guys wont eat pet store dragon chow. i like mustard and collard greens and try some fruit from the list. also he should be eating crickets small enough that you can put his salad in a bowl and throw crickets in the salad and no where else. in going for the crickets he should get some greens and maybe that will help stimulate things
