My Bearded dragon just turned a year old a few weeks ago. He's 419 grams, has had regular vet check ups and fecals and has a clean bill of health.
I have been having a hard time getting him to eat any greens or veggies.
When he was a baby he ate them, but the older he got the less he wanted them, I think mainly because I have spoiled him.
He will usually hold out for what he wants which sometimes can last with him not eating anything for up to 6 days, I couldnt handle letting him not eat any longer than that so I gave him what he wanted.
Anyways I have tried every veggie/green/fruit and he wants nothing to do with any of it.
In these past few weeks though when I have had him outside he has been eating the dandelion greens in our backyard. They are pesticide free and away from main roads ( we live in a sort of wooded area)
I would continue to let him do this but sometimes he will grab greens that arent dandelion greens, so im not sure if they are ok for him. I have tried picking the dandelion greens and letting him eat from a pile of them outside, but he doesnt want that. I've tried picking them and putting them in his tank, and he doesnt want that either. He only seems to want them when he can pick them himself.
Im stuck as to what toi do veggie wise for him since he seems to only want them if he can pick them.
any advice would be appreciated.
