So my lizard is almost 2... he's a bug eater. He absolutely loves his superworms and loves his dusted crickets but I've been told that at this age he should be eating more vegetables. So I tried to make a bug salad he would pick the bugs out of the salad and walk away wouldn't even try a bite. I tried to force feed him some vegetables and he would spit them back at me and walk away. So I've attempted a new venture. And he really likes baby food. I went to the store and bought the little containers of the baby food in just plain not crazy flavors. The only one that has multiple flavors in it is his laxative. It's Apple sweet potato and pumpkin and when he's starting to get a little puffy I'll give him a few bites of that then he's fine. But he really likes the carrots and he loves peaches. I also have a carat pear blackberry mix but he hasn't tried that one yet. What other baby foods can I get that are acceptable for the bearded dragon diet. He only eats a spoonful and then he's done of anything. I'm thinking maybe I should get a blender and puree up some vegetable salad and have him eat that because today I try to get him to eat some Radicchio endive and Tiny slivers of green bell pepper and that just wasn't happening LOL but the baby food he will definitely eat and since he will not go to his water dish willingly I figure this is also a good way to get him some hydration of some kind.
