Beardie Buffet Blend..?

[AJD]

I've never REALLY been a fan of the whole canned food deal for reptiles.. ex- Can o' worms
But I decided to finally try it today when I went to my local pet store. I bought the juvenile "Buffet Blend" - http://www.flukerfarms.com/buffetblendjuvenilebeardeddragonformula.aspx

I just wanted to get some opinions on conned food, or food pellets in general. I for one doubt my lil RJ will even look at them :|

My beardie refused to eat pellets when I tried it. I bought some medicated pellets when he was little (he had worms and coccidia) and he wanted nothing to do with them. They're too crunchy, or they don't taste good, or something. I never tried any of the canned crickets or dried crickets, things like that, but I have a feeling my dragon would refuse to go near those, as well. Though, he's an adult now and extremely picky (at this point he's reduced himself to eating nothing but white dubia and blackberries). Maybe a growing juvie would be more willing to eat whatever you put in front of him.

When feeding pellets it is best to moisten them for ease of digestion and hydration.

I toss some in chopped, moistened greens. They stick to the leaves, and my beardie gets a little extra with his greens!

My beardie LOVES Beardie Bites made by Nature Zone. They also make a size for juveniles. Try those. I don't know if it's the smell or the color, but Dino LOVES the stuff! Good luck! http://www.petco.com/product/102106/Nature-Zone-Bites-for-Bearded-Dragons.aspx
