Baby/Juv. will not eat greens..but....

[Tassadar]

My baby and my two juveniles will not touch greens to save their lives, I've heard it is extremely common for beardies to not like greens period. I do, however, use Dragon Bites and they LOVE them.

They have all the nutritional facts on them and the second their dish is placed in the tank they are all over it, even if they just ate dubias.

Is this replacement actually half-way decent for them? They literally love this stuff and the nutrients can't harm them, right? It also seems like a good source of moisture.

Any thoughts?

It's not the same as having real greens. Have you tried bok choy with them? That seems to entice them into eating greens more than collards, turnip, and mustard greens do. Only the leaves though, not the stalks.
