[QUOTE="kav, post: 2016913, member: 110854"] Frank is our 2.5 year old male Bearded Dragon. We got him as a rescue at 9 months. We've had quite the journey with Frank and food. Early on he got sick (took him to the vet and tested positive for Pinworm and Coccidian). We solved that with medication and correct husbandry (thanks to this forum) and he's been well ever since. But Frank has always been a fussy eater. To get him through the recovery I syringe fed him to keep his weight stable until he started feeding on his own. He would only eat bugs (Worms and Crickets), no greens. I put this down to Frank being a juvenile but now he's an adult he still will not touch his greens. I want to get Frank on a balanced healthy diet. His enclosure is 4' x 2' x 2' and has plenty of UVB that we change every 6 months. His basking spot is on a digital thermostat at a constant 96 degrees. For the few months we have have followed a strict feeding routine. Frank is offered a salad everyday (which we mix up trying to understand what Frank likes) and dusted Dubia roaches twice a week. Superworms are a treat only and we are keeping them away at the moment as Frank will easily eat nothing else. Crickets are a nightmare to keep for us, the noise, the smell and keeping them alive. Frank will never touch his salads and will eat maybe 2 or 3 Dubia roaches from his bowl. I feel like we are to blame for Franks Fussy eating, we got him into some bad habits during his recovery and confused him on what to eat. How do I correct this? I'm running out of ideas.
