I recently received a sub-adult dragon from a friend. His health is good but I have noticed that he does not want anything to do with his greens or veggies. I have tried everything under the sun as far as types of greens. I have been reading that adult BD that were never really offered a good amount of greens, when they were young, might be less likely to want to eat them. I want to see this little guy put on some weight as I think he is a little thin. He does go to the poo often enough and his tank is setup with the right equipment. I guess my real question is, is he going to ever eat greens and if not is their any way I can get him to put on some weight?

Mine has the same problem! Look below for my post and I got a response and maybe that will help you also. I hope it works for me. My beardies only like crickets. They are growing but I dont want them just to eat crickets. Good luck!

mine would eat his veggies every day when young, then for a while he refused to eat them, now he is back to eating them every day...if you go to Tosneys Bearded Dragon Care , that site has a section that lists many ways that people have used to get their dragons eating veggies...something you find there may work for you...cutting summer squash into long thin strips and wiggling them like a worm got Pazuzu eating his veggies...now he eats them without the worm make believe...
