my 3-4 month old (25cm) is healthy in general with weight and size (if not a little small) and is eating his live food just fine, but recently he's not been eating his greens.
it's been most noticeable since we switched him over from lettuce - I've had him about a week where I fed him lettuce for green intake (even though he didn't eat much of it at all) but since hearing it lacks nutritional value I've tried switching him to broccoli (unsteamed and then steamed when I figured maybe he's not eating it because it's too hard) which he wouldn't touch, green beans steamed and unsteamed, and even a bit of parsley, none of which he will touch. he occasionally has a bite of red bell pepper, but only when I hand-feed it to him with tweezers.
is there a reason for this or do I just have a picky lizard?? his bulb setup and temperatures are normal, but he's just not eating them and I'm worried it's affecting his shed. am I better off trying more veggies or is consistency the better option here?
