Yep, another post about a dragon not eating their veggies! I haven't posted in awhile but I've finally had enough and need some advice. My boy Felix is just over a year old now and although he's a sweetheart and has the correct cage/lighting etc he refuses to eat his veggies. Now he used to love them, well he'd always eat several mouthfuls and especially loved squash. Past few months however he's decided to be a little **** and won't even look at them. Now the only thing that has changed was that I started feeding him superworms instead of dubia which he's hardly interested in now too. *rolls eyes*
ANYWAY, I've tried waving them in front of his head which used to work. Now he just closes his eyes. I've tried the starvation method a few times. First time for probably a week then I felt horrible and gave him his superworms. This time it's been about 3 weeks and I've offered a fresh salad every day or every other day and yesterday I couldn't take it anymore and fed him superworms. I'd love some advice or even someone to tell me it's okay to starve him like that. Maybe even tips on how to make a more appealing salad?
What am i feeding him? When he used to eat his salad it was just collard greens turnip greens and butternut squash. Now im offering that and I also cut up other kinds of squash, green pepper and recently tried apple, broccoli and cauliflower just to try to spark his interest but I've got nothing. The last two days before giving up on his 3 week hunger strike I tried putting some chicken or squash baby food but other then a single taste of both he showed no interest.
Help please :?
