Does anyone know what is wrong or how I can help? I got her in the mail, on tuesday. She will eat her crickets just fine but whenever I try to get her to eat her veggies she ignores them. She has eaten a few pieces out of my hand about 4 times. If it helps she is currently shedding.

It looks like you have a baby from what I can see and most babies wont eat alot of their veggies, its fine, just keep offering him/her them in a bowl that he has access to all day
She's somewhere between 3-4 months old. If that will help

By that age dragons should be eating a bit of vegetables but considering she is still getting used to her new home, (it can take as long as 2 weeks before they are completely settled into their new home) it isn't unusual for dragons to not want to eat any salad during this time. Keep offering finely chopped greens, drop the insects onto the greens, this almost always ensure some greens are eaten with the insects. Do this every feeding time and within a couple more weeks, she will eat the greens on her own.

I tried mixing mealworms into my dragon's salad and he just swiped the greens out of the way and picked out the worms! It was a mixture of shreaded carrots,musterd greens,dry dragon food and the mealworms.
Any ideas on other greens dragons may like?
