Won't Ever Eat Greens!

My beardy is brumating right now, so this if for a future reference.
My bearded dragon is getting around 2 years old now, however she rarely touches her greens. Besides putting bugs in her salads, is there any other way I can get her to eat greens? My friend's bearded dragon who is about the same age never touches bugs, and only eats greens, so it's pretty much the opposite problem for them. I would also like to know the possible causes for this to happen, is it because she prefers bugs, or something else? The lack of fiber and vitamins causes her to have some digestion problems, so any help would be great! And the weird thing about this is that she ate more veggies when she was younger... It just doesn't make much sense!!! :banghead:

There are lots of tricks to try to get them to eat veggies. Make it more colorful (with squash, carrots, etc). Putting worms in there. Hand feeding. If none of these work, provide a daily salad and don't give her bugs until she eats it- they will usually get hungry enough to take the salad.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
