How long can they go before tthey have to eat greens?

Sorry question is sort of misleading, but i have a 6 week old beardie that will not eat greens and th best sounding trick of throwing phoenix worms in the salad sounds flawless but i can't find phoenix worms and missed last show due to it being on easter. "She" is tearing up crickets but not eating greens how long can she go without greens? breeder said he had them started but not believing it.

Some babies do not eat greens right away.You can try fruit and make sure you dust crickets w/ calcium/vitamin.Just keep offering greens dailey...i kno its a pain to keep buying them if he/she will not eat them..maybe try buying some that you can eat to.

feed greens to your crickets a day before you feed them to your dragon.
The crickets will be gut loaded with greens and it will help develop the taste for greens.
Keep offering small amounts of greens everyday till you see them start to disappear.

Thankyou for the help. Luckily greens are only 99 cents a bunch here in Indiana and they are all readily available. I'm also a stay at home Dad that has to take care of several other relatively hard to take care of animals. Chondros are my true pride and joy. I will just keep trying thanks for gutloading the greens tip. I try to gut load to the best of my ability with fruits and potatoes, but i will now add greens. Is the stuff the cricket breeder sold me as a grain based cricket feed considered gut load? I dust with calcium but have yet to decide on what vitamin supplement to buy. What is everybody else using or better yet what is the best vitamin supplement? Thanks again for the help.
