My Beardie stop eating greens, is there something wrong with

[Smaug3601]

my Bearded Dragon used to eat his greens like a week or two before,
But now he wont eat them. He only wants his Dubia Roach, I tried to put the dubias in the same plate as the greens to see if he eats them both, but he wont, only eats the dubias and avoid the greens.

Is there something wrong with my bearded dragon?
or is he just being picky??
is this normal?
would something bad happen to my beardie if he stops eating his greens, and only eats Dubia Roach??

it depends on how old he is, if still young then he's still gonna be needing the animal proteins anyway, still offer greens everyday however. if he is older then increased animal proteins can cause obesity, and other health issues, and greens should definately be the more sought after food. hes probably just being picky, i'd choose a cheeseburger over a salad any day of the week... although my doctor would definitely kill me... if you are worried about any nutritional loss from him not eating greens though just feed those greens to the dubia and blamo! food chain bitches! < pardon my french

ok thanks
my Beardie is like 10 to 11 months old.
I guess I will start giving the turnip greens and other greens to my dubia roach.

yeah just keep offering them in his cage but since he'll more than likely not want to eat them just do a few, it'll be easier to keep track of them also to see if he is at least nibbling on them.

And he also ate a banana that he refused to eat them too. Hes being rally picky. But atleast he ate some today
