I am tired of buying crickets every other day. she won't even eat pears or apples only mill worms and crickets.
do beardies eventually experiment with the veggies as they get older? please help me

How old is this beardie? They do not switch easily. If you continue to offer the crickets and mealworms exclusively she will hold out for them. Offering veggies in the morning when they tend to be most hungry is helpful, but do not expect miracles right away. It will take a while. If she is old enough you may want to offer insects every other day to encourage feeding on the greens.

All of my dragons love to eat impatients flowers. They eat the flowers/stems/leaves...everything. They prefer this much more so than any other greens. Also they love to munch on green beans. You can get these flowers at any nursery. This has been one of my secretes for these lizards to plow down greens. Even picky lizards will most likly eat it. I strongly reccomend everyone to try this plant for your lizards. This plant stores alot of water in its stems also, so it gives your berdies ample hydration. If i allow my lizard, he will go throw several plants a day. I would stop feeding your lizard worms for awhile, because for some reason mealworms is every dradons favorite food item. You'll make him to spoiled.

I grow nasturtiums for my reptiles. I start the seeds. They love them. As soon as the wild violets are out here, I'll get some of those too. If you buy flowers at the store please be careful.....you shouldn't feed any flowers or plants that have been sprayed or dusted for insects or weeds. I make sure that any flowers or plants I bring in for them are au naturel. lol

Nasturtiums are very spicy. Try them. LOL People can eat them too!
