fruits and veggies

[sunflowergal40]

What fruits and veggies do your beardies like to eat? What do you give daily? I've seen the list on the beautiful dragon site, but I'd like to hear from some of you guys about what yours like. Mine likes collard greens. That's all he has really taken to so far. Thanks for any responses!

My dragons favorite is graded up butternut squash. it stay moist all day long, and lasts along time in the fridge.

Collard greens seem to be well loved! I have been trying just about everything with them. Louie loves her banana treat every now and then. Made spaghetti squash this week, neither of them ate it. But, I'm going to try again.

I have only seen Achilles eat his collard greens, and that was only once. He won't touch veggies anymore since then, I've made him squash and green beans, peas, collard greens, with bananas all mixed into one salad but he wants nothing to do with it. Now he is still young(not sure of age but he's only about 6-7 inches long), and I have heard the young guys don't like to eat their veggies much, but anyone have any tricks to get him to eat them more often??

Prudence seems to enjoy endive and escarole for her greens the best... she also enjoys butternut and autumn (is that the name?) squash. I just put some shredded carrot on her salad yesterday and she was eating that. She also loves prickly cactus pear.

I tried green beans and she didn't seem too interested, it seemed to be the uneaten thing left in her bowl.

Her all time favorite is raspberry. I usually just cut up one and put it in various places inside her salad and it is always the first thing she eats. I love her little raspberry beard.

I think I have the only beardie that doesn't like squash. He snubs it. He really isn't all that fond of veggies at all. I still give him the option daily. Everything from kale to zuccini and parsley. Stubborn little begger.

Have you guys tried mustard greens or arugula? For whatever reason my dragon adores them both, while I find them vile. It seems the worse they taste to me, the better he likes them. Chicory is also a big seller for him. I think he likes the frilly texture. Diced seedless red grapes disappear in a heartbeat.
