bearded dragon not eating properly

[iluvmybeardies]

hey i posted about this dragon a few weeks back. ok he's three years old and all he wants to eat are superworms and dubia. he was very skinny when i got him his weight was between 130g to 153g i got him up to 235g and now he won't eat any of his vegetables , i've been offering him collared greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens,snow peas, and he won't eat any of it . when i go to put it in his enclosure he shakes his head at me (not head bobbing ) it looks like he's saying no lol or he gets mad and gives me his back. he eat's his fruit i still give him repta boost but he refuses to eat any greens. did i spoil him or do adult dragons go through this kind of behavior.

oh and when i leave his vegetables in his enclosure he goes in the plate and kicks his greens all over the place.

You can always try putting the fruit that he still eats with the greens. Also try putting the supers in with the greens/fruit but make sure the bowl is deep. You can also give it a try with the dubia. That way when they see movement they will get some of the greens with the bugs. Also when he goes for the fruit he will also get the greens. Also try butternut/winter/acorn etc type squashes for some color. They tend to really enjoy squash I hope that helps a little!

Mealworms are very bad to feed to bearded dragons, especially babies. They have very hard shells that they can't digest. Better feeders would be crickets, other worms or roaches.

i tried mixing fruit with his vegetables and i also put dubia roaches and still no luck all he wants are superworms and now he loves baby food im going to try and put the baby food on his vegetables as a salad dressing and see if this works.
