Sheesh Kurt ... he is giving you nothing but trouble isn't he? LOL

I get emails all the time from people saying .. "help I can't get my dragon to eat any live foods, all they want is greens and pellets" LOL

Even Bill (Aztecgecko) has one of my dragons and it will ONLY eat the greens and pellets... just looks at the worms and leaves them alone LOL

I don't know what else to do. I bought that T-rex veggie formula, he still doesnt eat his greens. I have been trying to not give him any superworms but i dont want to further stunt his growth. I called a vet but i can't get an appointment till next week at the earliest. Do you know of anything I can put in his water to increase his appetite

Kurt, have you tried making the salad dressing from the t-rex product? I've heard they like the smell and taste and so it entices them. I would cut the greens into tiny pieces and put that on it an then drop a couple of the worms you're feeding on top....they'll stick a bit with the dressing and maybe he'll get some and decide he likes it.

If you've had a fecal and gram stain done and they are both ok, then....I would use some acidopholiz or parazap to help stimulate his appetite a bit.

But remember, some start off smaller and hit a growth spurt later on.....he maybe just fine.

Is he still eating his pellets? I wouldn't worry too much about the greens right now if he is. He will go back to them in time. I think he has been spoiled LOL

the way i get my guy to eat his is i crumple the collard greens up and toss them in like a cricket, the main thing that got him eating them though, was i had to go 3 days iwhtout crickets
