Help getting my bearded dragon to eat her greens

She really likes carrot and butternut squash purée. But I was trying to stop that because she’s been having diarrhea. She was eating the greens plain two days ago. Now she only wants the carrot purée. I haven’t really given it to her because I was trying to get her to not eat it. Is there any drier foods that I can try to help her eat her greens? Or should I just wait until she is hungry for the plain ones again? I’ve tried bee pollen, green peppers, cilantro, and solid butternut squash and carrots. She doesn’t care for those. I try not to give her many new things at once. Most of the time she does not want to try it. She cares a little bit for the carrots but not all the time. She likes a flower food topper. But the bag says to give it 3-4 times a week. And she won’t touch the flowers if I try to give it to her with a green.

Most of the days she was eating her greens plain. Although I don’t think she was very enthusiastic about it. Sometimes she won’t eat it for a day then go back to eating it. She would have normally gone back to eating them by now. But, maybe this time it is just longer.

I was thinking of trying a endive

The day she Dosent eat them is normally the day she will poop. She will eat her crickets just fine. And sometimes the purée. But I haven’t been trying to give that to her. She pooped yesterday. Maybe she needs to poop again?

Yes just offer her plain greens, I thought you had switched back over a week or 2 ago ? Please give it time. It's not difficult to do, it was recommended quite a while ago. Come on now Toad , you can do this for Cole !

Ok, yes I have been giving plain for a week or two. Some days she just does not care for them at all. And I’ve been trying to find a topper she likes as much as her last one. Thank you very much!

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
