I need help with feeding my beardie vegetables. She was doing fine with vegetables before but I think I messed things up. I was primarily giving her veggies and occassionally crickets. Afterwards I was able to get a lot of crickets to give her because she had only been eating veggies for a while, for one week I gave her crickets (about 60 in total). Afterwards she decided to stop eating vegetables, whenever I give her vegetables now she'll only eat one leaf. I tried bee pollen, she eats the pollen but if it's on top of any leafy greens she ignores it. I've resorted to giving tricking her into eating them by putting the greens on her tongue as she's licking the pollen off of her mouth. Can anyone help me out with getting her to eat greens on her own?
Get her some BSFL or also known as phoenix worms calci worms and nutri grubs-- do not dust them - try those and add those to the top of the salads they are small order large -- and I would try some dubia roaches too - you can get them from here http://www.dubiaroaches.com
have your tried super worms or meal worms or horn worms to get her to the salad bowl - those are all enticers to get her to the bowl - but make sure shes only getting a few - now that shes been fed all those crickets she only wants them -- its time to see if we can get her back on her salads - have you tried other greens like collard mustard kale or turnip greens -- here is a website for nutrition to give her variety ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

I have given her hornwworms recently, and normal sized mealworms I have give her 5 every few days. I haven't tried the other insects yet, I suggested roaches to my dad but he said no. Should I stop giving her bugs for a few days and try to give her the vegetables?
She should only be getting insects 2-3 days per week and salads everyday- so hold off on the insects for a few days and worms and see what she does then when it's her day for insects feed the salad first w/ a worm or two on top of the salad to see if she will come to the bowl
