I keep a salad in my beardie's enclosure daily on a white paper towel. The color contrast attracts their eye. They may not go for it right away but keep at it. My beardie likes Belgium Endive and zucchini. Since my beardie only eats mealworms because she doesn't like crickets i always make sure to dust the veg instead of the protein since the exo skeletons of meal worms won't take the dusting very well. Try to position the veg paper towel on the cool side of the enclosure out of the direct light from the uvb lights so that the veg doesn't dry out as fast.

Even if they aren't eaten right away change them once every 12-24 hours depending on if your beardie's left a gift on the towel or they've gotten too dry. Make sure to cut all veg in pieces no bigger than the space between their eyes to prevent impaction.

There's articles on the site here that show what veg are good for beardies and in what amounts. And the beardie always having veg available will give them a late night snack if they sneak out for it after the lights go out.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
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.
