How can I get my bearded dragon to eat veggies

[mybeardieslovefood]

She's 5 inches or less. Her name is Sobe. She eats crickets and I offer her greens and yellow squash doesn't touch them. I got her Wednesday. So if you know how to get a baby bearded dragon eating veggies please help!

Babies don't tend to enjoy veggies. She is definitely a tiny baby! Some people get the babies to eat and enjoy baby food, and then put baby food on the veggies and from what I've read it works. I got my baby when he was 5 inches too and he didn't touch his veggies until almost 2 months later, but then he ate them with vigor! I made him small salad everyday and eventually he got curious and ate it.

PS love her name! That's way cute

Thanks I named it after the sports drink with the lizard on it. If you want I will post a picture. Would apple sauce work? I have 3 beardies but it's been a long time since they were babies and they love veggies!

I made salad everyday but it wouldn't get eaten. then I read on here somewhere that I could put phoenix worms in the salad.
So I ordered small phoenix worms and started putting in salads everyday. Now they get so excited to see the salads coming.
they both glass dance and run back and forth waiting on salads. they love them. The hardest part after that is finding what
veggies they each like in their salad. So just keep trying and maybe try the phoenix worms.

Lol, Sobe's are delicious...I like the strawberry daquiri ones..yumm

A picture would be wonderful!! Apple sauce would work, squished bananas should also work. Don't worry if she's not too interested though.

A dragon that young, just give it time. Keep offering and they'll try it eventually. When they're babies, it's pretty much only a snack.
