Hello! I'm a completely new Bearded Dragon owner (7 days as of today!) and we brought a cute little bearded dragon into our family last week for my son's 9th birthday. I've been reading a ton and realize that the little ones are to get most of their diet from insects and some of their diet from veggies, but ours won't touch those little veggie pellets that came with our bearded dragon kit from Petsmart. We soak them in water and leave them out for him but he isn't interested at all. We also bought one of the bagged treat kits of veggies that you soak and add to their food bowl but he isn't interested in that either.
Last night, I had some cucumbers on hand from our garden so I cut some small pieces and put them in his food dish for him but by morning, they'd all dried up and I doubt he touched them.
So other than feeding your crickets the veggies, is there any way to entice the babies to eat veggies? I don't want his growth to suffer since he's only eating dusted crickets and nothing else.
Thanks in advance for any help!
