I would offer greens daily, cut very fine and drop either silkworms, appropriate sized crickets or for older dragons (10" long or more) some newly molted superworms. Bury the insects into the salad or give the insects time to work their way underneath the greens, then put the salad into the cage. Maybe drop a cricket or two to catch your dragon's attention. Most times, when dragons are diving into the greens to get the insects, they will get some greens at the same time. This usually gives teh dragon a taste of greens and they realize that greens are good too.
A couple posts down, somebody had a good suggestion which has worked well for him. Using a juicer or any blender that can blend stuff into pulp, you can prepare a tasty 'dressing' for the salad to further entice them to eat it. Nector type fruits would be good to do this way with some vegetables and healthy greens. May take some experimentation to see what works best with your dragons. ----- PHLdyPayne
