[QUOTE="blue11, post: 2016954, member: 50631"] Your dragon sounds a lot like mine - it’s as if I’m literally offending her very existence by simply wanting her to eat some greens now and then 😂🤷🏻♀️ When the mood strikes, she will happily take several pieces of hand fed collards (it’s the green she likes the best) - but its just that I guess, when her body and her brain are telling her she needs some. But even then, it’s just a on and on waiting game until the next acceptance of them. She will take a little bite or two of fruit a few times a month (particularly a banana slice or a little watermelon slice) - but alas, she is just not one of those dragons that eats greens every day or even every week. I offer them often, but I’m usually met with her closing her eyes (which translates to nope) - unless she’s ready / she wants them on her time. Most of my greens end up going to her Dubia and then her Supers. In a sense she’s getting some from the feeders themselves that have eaten them, but not as far as her flying solo with salads. I also have tried everything I can think of for all of her 12 years now to make it something she is excited about on a consistent basis - I’ve tried the bugs in the salad, tried a big variety of greens / veggies, etc … Sometimes if she’s eating her bugs I will put a piece of collard on her the tip of her tongue when she is finishing up eating each one and - or like when she’s gaping when we are outside in the summer I’ll sneak a little piece of collard on her tongue and she’ll eat - but these are not steady or reliable. I definitely feel your frustrations and that at a loss feeling - you are not alone for sure! [/QUOTE]
