Drastic diet change

[Tom23]

Hey everyone, i have a female Bearded dragon that i adopted when she was 2 years old. She turns 5 in August!

She has always preferred bugs over greens ( just like the average Bearded dragon). I used tricks to feed her greens, such as aragula, dandelions, tomato, salat and fruits.

She didn't eat all of them so I decided to try and change her diet, this was 2 weeks ago. I dimmed down the amount of live feeders to practically 0-10% and offer fresh greens every day.

Still, she doesn't eat her greens and neither her bugs now, she has enough uvb (1 full uvb 100w and a basking lamp)

Temps are normal, peak is 45, lowest is 22°C during the night. She has natural substrate, hiding spots, enough water, gets taken out of her tank and gets lots of love.

Any ideas on what might be happening? Because her fat reserves seem to be less full then before, no real dips on top of her head, but still.

Thanks in advance!

It could be that you need to change the UVB light. My bearded dragon eats more when he gets a new light bulb in. He is normally not wanting to eat much when the UVB light is old.

Sound what I'm going through, Sheer psychological.

If only we could talk about the psychological/spiritual aspects of these creatures.
But I know it's hard.


Have you tried other feeders.?
Have faith that he'll go back to his salad.
I do that mine will someday...
