We have a 10 week old baby BD.

We have it in a 30 gallon tank with sand substrate, basking light, UVB light. We are currently feeding it small crickets and the occasional super worm. We dust with a vitamin / calcium suplement a couple of times a week. We mist it's basking rock a couple of times a day and we have a water bowl. Hopefully we have all the basics covered.

I was wondering how early we can introduce greens and vegetables to it's diet? What are the best greens to start with? I have seen a few posts that mention "Spring Mix" minus the spinach. Is that a good thing to start with?

How do you get them interested in eating the greens? I have a couple of collared lizards who will eat fruit if it is hand fed to them, but if I put it in a bowl in their cage, they ignore it. Will my BD just eat it from a bowl?

Thanks in advance for your help.
