Baby Beardie HATES HIS VEGGIES! HELP!

[xboshbeardiex]

I've had my baby for 2 weeks now and he just won't touch his veggies!
I've made him a mix of curly kale, celery leaves, cucumber(he licked a few times) sweet pepper and butter squash, I've tried everything to get him eating it like putting it in before feeding crix, taking a piece and making it wriggle. He just really doesn't seem interested in it

I'm worried he won't be getting all the nutrients he should be! He's been a great eater since I got him with his crickets but just doesn't want his veggies!

Will this harm his growth?

I'm a worried mummy xxx

Croaker loves turnip greens, but he didn't start eating them until he was 10 inches or so.

Ah right I was worried as he isn't touching them, il keep putting them in so he gets used to them! Hes about 8 inches now, thanks for your advice.

place some on his basking spot, it makes them thing WTF is that? and they'll check it out and eat it. continue to place it on and he'll carry on eating.
another thing you could try is give it to him a while before his live food, he'll be hungry and he'll most likely eat
that's what i had to do for a few weeks now he just goes straight to his bowl

good luck

Babies need lots of protein because they are growing at a fast rate, just keep offering the greens and he may nibble on them sometime soon. But, it's not really much of a concern as he is so young.
