veggies

blackheart17 Nov 30, 2003 01:38 PM

my 3 month old beardie isn't eating any veggies... he hasn't his whole life. I'm offering him all kinds of greens, carrots, and i don't know why he won't eat them. His tank is perfect (set up wise and temperature). he's eating 10-20 crickets a day and i am scared b/c he won't eat veggies, please help!

thats pretty typical when theyre young. if yours likes to bite or open his mouth at you, you can try sticking a piece of collar greens in there thats how oen of mine learned that greens are pretty good. another i just wave the veggie in front of his face, and he seems to think of it as prey and eat it. no need to worry yet if yours wont eat veggies; just keep trying and eventually he'll catch on
