First just try to feed them a few , try different colors and soak them in a little juice to give them the fruit flavor. Some will eat only certin colors some will take a while to get with the program, but just keep giving them to them. And eventually you will see their prefrences and go from there. You still need to supplement their diet with greens and etc. hope this helps scott

A good trick you could try is to drop the moistened pellets one at a time into their tank (if you don't use sand). The pellet will roll or bounce a little and catch their attention. They will naturally go after it and pounce on it. After they have eaten that one, do it again and drop another and another and so on. I would also try leaving a small dish in their tank with pellets in it at all times. Dragons are naturally curious and will go "check them out".

If yur beardies like greens, it shouldn't be that hard. They'll be used to trying new things, so put some in a petri dish, or a dish they easily see into, even while they are on the ground, and they will see it and throughout the day, they'll probably try it. I put some gatorade and water in the dish, it slowly soaks up and keeps the pellets moist the whole day, they mgiht also start drinking it, and gatorade is good for their stomachs because of the electrolytes in it.
