Hey guys, not sure how many are still around from my time, but this forum helped me out three years ago with my then baby beardie.
Thil is now a healthy 3 year old female (who has yet to lay infertile eggs not sure how normal that is). First off I just want to get out of the way her husbandry and what I have tried.
She lives in a 4x2x2 with correct temps, a reptisun 10.0 TUBE and proper colored basking lamp to dampen the brightness of the UVB. She is over all perfectly healthy, eats her bugs great and is active though she does enjoy her lazy time. I've had no issues with her besides the one I bring to you now.
Thil doesn't eat her fruit or veggies. Back when I was on this forum there was the general advice of : keep trying, wait her out, add bugs, etc etc.
Well i've waited her out, tried bugs and pretty much every single item on the beautiful dragons listen that is available to me. As stated she eats her bugs no problem but will not even lick veggies, no matter how long I wait her out, how much I wiggle them, how many bugs I add. Will not touch them.
I've tried all squash, mustards greens, Kale, collards, bok choy, and countless other veggies of the list as well as every safe fruit.
What i'm asking is since it doesn't seem to be a husbandry issue and more just a case of her generally just not liking anything is there any hope for me to get her to eat her fruits and veggies?
Thanks in advance.
