this is what i posted last time:
i know it has been asked many times, but, my newest pets, my first dragons, wont eat any veggies out of their dish. they are a year and a half old and they will eat some lettuce and other veggies out of the dish, but they won't eat it if it's in the dish. they won't even eat supers from the dish! crix, no! nothing! they will take food from your hand or tweezers sometimes though, but i need help getting them to eat out of they're dish. i know that some people say put the worms in the dish with the veggies but that doesn't work with these guys. i've tried not feeding them for a day then trying it, but that didn't work either. they came from a guy who only fed them mice. no vegies! so, i'm kinda trying to rescue them. but they aren't cooperateing. they did eat one of the leaves off of a spider plant that i got them today(no pesticides). they both ate one. but, that's about it. can anyone off er some help?? thanx in advance!

and i was told to:
-try a different dish
-put it on a plate
-put it on a paper towel
-dropping the food into the dish
-try a see through dish
-try a shallower dish
-starve them until they eat(which i don't like!)
-and i've tried putting supers in the dish(they won't even look at the supers in the dish)

and i was told by Christyj to try an eye dropper with blended veggies(i haven't gotten to this yet, but i will be trying that either today or tomorrow).

my girl will take some romaine out of my hand, and the guy won't even consider eating any!!!

i need some help and some more advice. thanx to everyone in advance!!!!!!
