My beardie will not eat veggies unless I hand feed her. When I do hand feed her she will only eat a couple bites. She seems to be waiting for crickets all the time. She should be eating more veggies by now she is almost full grown

My lizard is the same way, but they have to have their vegetables. If there is no crickets available then I have to force her to eat vegetables. I know it sounds cruel, but it's better than her starving. Once the vegetable is in her mouth though she enjoys it. My advice is to not be rough when feeding her vegetables, but if she totally rejects them then it could cause a problem.
