Hello, My BD's are very picky. They don't like greens, pellets, or this new food that's by zoomed. It is natural it has mealworms, blue berries, rose petals, alfalfa, and all the minerals and vitamins they need. I would really like to get them to eat it, but how? I have tried many different ways. I put it in with mixed veggies and they wouldn't touch it. And they love the mixed veggies! And i tried it alone they still won't touch it. I tried hand feeding it as well still no success! So how do i get them on it? And what are some good staple bug feeders?
Help! Picky Bearded Dragons!?!

Hi. How old are they? Mine won't eat it unless they move. They need live bugs not processed junk. Crickets, dubia, silk and Phoenix worms are all good.
What I do is greens in the mornings. That way if its a protein day then for sure they've had their salad.
Since they are adults you can hold out on the protein for a few days. I've learned they will eat and not starve themselves.
i have tried that, i generally don't go past a week. They know that i will give in eventually, so they just sit there and refuse to eat anything green. I try not to feed them very many worms, maybe once to twice a week. Is once to twice a week to much or to little? It also depends if i have worms or not.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
