Ukon hasn't been eating them lately, probably due to stress from the medication (been done giving it for a couple days now).
Just wondering if anyone had some tricks into getting them to eat veggies
thanks

Put some small pieces of Raspberry (sp?) in the mix with the veggies and just make sure they can see it. I don't know if it's the color, smell or taste but my guys love raspberrys and it always works to get them going.
Peace,

I have four beardies and will be receiving two more tomorrow, and to get my other four to eating their veggies better, I got crickets a size smaller than they normally have and when I put their veggies in I empty some onto the veggies. They are 1/2" crixs so they can't get out of the dish as good as the big ones. When they go for the crix they get veggies along with the cricket and eat their veggies. I also dust their veggies with parazap. This increases their appitite and rids their body of any parasites. I use this as a preventative method 5-10 consecutive days a month. It has really helped their appitite. I have tried all kinds of fruits and that never worked with mine, they don't seem to care for the fruit as this time. My beardies range from ages 4 months to 4 weeks old. Of course I feed the four week onld 1/4" cricket.
