I leave my dry mix in the cage at all times (see at this post) and I use a mixture of things. It's the bird seed with the sunflower seeds removed, juvy iguana pellets, splits peas, split lentils, and bee pollen granules. They like it and eat from it regularly, but they don't go nuts for it like yours do. If they won't eat their greens when offered the dry, but will if there is no dry, then I'd suggest regulating when you offer the dry. This will help make sure they're getting their nutrition.
I went with the iguana dry food from info I read on a care sheet (can't remember which one) so I couldn't tell you about the BD one.
Hope that helps, even a bit.

>>I've had my pair of Uros for about 2 weeks now, and both are doing quite well. I have noticed that the female is absolutely addicted to her birdseed. I was wondering how often and how much seed I should feed? I am feeding a parakeet/canary blend with millet as the #1 ingredient. Whenever I put it in the enclosure (I feed it in a separate dish from the greens), she runs over and eats nothing but that. The days that I feed seed, I'm not sure if she eats any greens at all. And then the other day I also experimented and fed them some bearded dragon pellets (T-Rex juvenile formula) out of my hand, and they went nuts for that as well. How often can I feed the BD pellets? I'll get adult formula for them next time - I just happened to have the juvie b/c I have a juvie dragon. Should I feed iguana pellets instead since there should be not animal proteins in those? Thanks for any insight!!!
