How to feed fruit ?

[ddma]

I want to start giving my beardies fruit with thier greens but i have a couple of questions. should they be a certain age before they start eating fruits ? and as far as fruits, how are they , if you will , to be served ? cut in small pieces , shredded , mashed , etc. like blueberries , do i smush them or cut them or leave them whole ? apples? watermelon, cantelope,strawberries, and what about corn ? i know the beautiful dragon list and i know what they can eat and how often. what kind of corn ? canned , fresh (raw), frozen ? and what do i do with it ? chop it ? leave whole kernel ? thanks.

Just make them bite sized pieces. With the corn I would do the kernels unless your beardie is small then you can size them accordingly.

Hard things like apple can be shredded. I typically use a pair of kitchen shears to cut my fruit like strawberries and blueberries. Just seems easier to get them into thinner slices that way

My beardies seem to have trouble "grabbing" the fruit I offer them.
Any suggestions?

Put it on top of their greens in their salad dish or hold it directly in front of their mouth so all they have to do is open up and you drop it in.
