One year old beardie stopped eating greens

[Jtara]

My bearded eats crickets, but I have started feeding mostly greens quite a while ago. All of a sudden, she will pick out the blueberries, grapes, apples or whatever the fruit of the day is and skip the greens.

I gave her a bowl of greens with no fruit and she ate some slithers of celery, but left the collard and mustard greens.


Her greens are collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens.

Any suggestions?

I would just keep offering the greens without the "candy" honestly. Just the greens - no fruit, no celery, nothing else. She'll probably get the picture in a day or two.

I did that and she didnt eat for 2 days. I didnt know how long to keep it going.

Welcome to the picky world of dragon diets.

My male is like that, and he has always been that way - he is now 5 years old. What I do to get him to eat his greens is starve him for up to 4 days (when he is really stubborn), and then he usually goes for them, as long as there is not "candy" as stated above. Because if I offer blueberries (which are his favorite), or something else as a topping (like worms and such) he will just strategically pick them out.

My female doesn't have this problem. She will eat anything.
