Hey again guys. Alex now is not eating her greens and she is at the age where she should be eating a larger amount of greens. She is roughly a year and a half old. Any tips on how to get her to eat them?

I have the same problem with Dexter. She's 2 and won't eat her greens. She looks at them and does that swallowing motion like she's going to get ready to eat them and thens he stops herself. I usually will let a hornworm attach itself to a few greens and then she'll eat them. I also feed her supers her salad and then let her eat them. I always thought that at 2 she would automatically start eating her salad again but it hasn't happened yet :(

You can wait a day or two to see if she'll eat them when she's a bit more hungry...

My younger Beardies would never eat greens. It was crickets only for quite a while. Just keep offering them and eventually they'll want it.
