Baby Beardie HATES HIS VEGGIES! HELP!

Not open for further replies.
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

I would try putting some brightly colored fruits and veggies on top to spark his interest, like strawberries, nectarines, peach, bell peppers and such. If you're afraid of him not getting the nutrients he needs, try mixing some vitamin/calcium powder in some chicken, apple, peach, veggie, etc baby food and letting him lap it out of a spoon.

yeah....pretty much hit the nail on the head! :p

but don't worry too much! most babies don't eat very many veggies as a baby

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
