Why will my bearded dragon not eat?

[chris2dragons]

I have two bearded dragons that are very picky eaters. They will not eat anything that doesnt move. I need to figure out a way to give them their veggies. I have tried moving it in my hand but that does not work. If you have any tips or tricks i could use please reply. Thankyou

Try giving them a small amount of greens/veg in the morning, followed by protein servings a couple hours later.

How old are they? I know that most babies are like that. The prefer to eat the moving critters over their greens (like kids, lol).
How long have you had them?
Are they housed together?

That is a good thing to do. Make them get their greens first. They will get hungry enough.
Or how about putting some worms under their veggies? They might eat the greens while going after the bugs.

They are about three months old. I have had them for about a month and and a half. They were just recently seperated into different cages

It's normal for babies that age to not eat their veggies. One of my girls didn't start eating them till she was about 10 or 11 months old. The most she would eat was about a couple of pieces. Just keep giving them the greens and eventually they will eat them. They should be getting a lot of protien at that age anyways.
