I have a 4 month old beardie and I’ve been trying to get him to eat veggies with no luck. I’ve tried to put veggies in his meal worms, at first he would get some veggies with the worms, but now he literally scratches all the veggies out of his bowl to find the worms?. It’s entertaining but frustrating. I’ve held out on feeding him his worms and crickets for a day and then put veggies in his bowl all weekend and he won’t touch them. Any tips would be awesome!

It's pretty common for the little guys to ignore veges in favor of bugs. They need the protein to support their big growth spurts. Keep making the salads available but it's OK if he wants bugs for now. As he reaches full size at around 12-18 months then his appetite will slow a bit and he should start eating more and more veges.
My Beardie never ate her greens but I tried this method and now she eats regularly.- Status
