Hello, I just recently made a post about my over-weight bearded dragon and I've been weening him off the super-worms from his typical 5 a day to 2. He's been eating his crickets and worms fine no prob... But when it comes to his kale I've noticed he only eats maybe 1 little bite; maybe 2 & whenever I try to hand feed him some he looks at it; licks it and is un-interested and won't eat it as of before he would just eat it out of my hand. I tear it up into pieces for him to eat it better; removing the stems. I sometimes add cut up strawberries in there and I noticed he might only eat 1 or 2 of those as well. Refuses to touch the blueberries so I stopped feeding that to him in general. He used to eat his whole dish of kale just fine like AS SOON as I put the dish down he would eat it. It's ever since I started dusting his crickets he won't touch it. Am I supposed to dust his kale too? I'm new to all of this. I will post a picture of the 2 products I bought; They said to buy them together and use 1/2 teaspoon of each. I mix it up in a small bowl (Til I order a proper dusting container) and feed it to him. I bought them from my local Petsupermarket.
I usually wash his kale to and leave it out to dry for 5 minutes before tearing it up.
& Also; He won't go to the bathroom as much as he did before.. And if he does; it's very small compared to the sizes he used to have. He used to leave a palm full of poop. Now it's just a pinky or 2 fingers wide. Idk if it's because he's getting older or if I'm changing up his diet? Should I try switching to collard greens? He's always ate kale & I always buy it from my local vegetable stand where everything is grown fresh from farms.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! He loves his new UVB light though I just ordered a 10.0 t5 off of Amazon. Should be here 11th-16th.

If these aren't the right dusting products can someone tell me where to get the proper ones? Even if I have to order them online I will.
