Help with the battle of the veggies!!

[Anglin237]

My bearde Leo is almost 3 months old, and I am still struggling with getting him to eat his veggies. I have tried all of the suggestions out there like putting them on a paper towel, putting worms (which he doesn't much carr for either) in them, but he barely touches them. He eats about 30-50 medium sized crickets a day, but no fruits and the only veg he will touch is bok choy, and only the leaves of that. He likes the dried mealworms as well, but I only give those once a week as a treat, and even if they're in the veggie bowl, he just picks out the worms and ignores the veg. Any advice on my picky eater?

At that age I'd just let him be picky and go after bugs. He needs the protein to grow. Keep offering salads so he's familiar with them as a food source and try hand feeding to see if he'll take some now and then. When he gets closer to a year old and his growth slows he should slowly transition over to eating more veges. This transition is easier if they are already pretty familiar with them.
