Why did my bearded dragon stop eating his greens?

Sorry if you guys are getting tired of seeing me on here haha. But I just have lots of questions about this guy. Nothing has changed in his set up or even his behavior. He still eats the same amount of crickets as he always does. It’s only been two days since he’s last eat his greens and he used to eat so much of it everyday. What I find strange is that he still eats his carrots and veggies just not the greens. I started off with mustard and then I’ve also given him some collard greens. This last week I was giving him turnip greens. When those ran out I went back to mustard. The first day, he ate some but the second day and yesterday he stopped. Could it just be that he doesn’t like mustard anymore after eating collard and turnip greens?

You will find that they can become very picky at times and will change up what they want to eat freq...just keep offering the good staple greens and in time he will eat again they will not starve themselves.

Ok I’m going to try some collard greens and turnip greens again to see if that changes anything

They get picky sometimes. I would also try mixing the different greens together. I usually do a mix of 2 or 3 at a time. Make sure that you aren't feeding carrots all the time too. They are high in Vitamin A and can cause problems, they are more of an occasional food.
