Picky Bearded Dragons

[kaedence]

I have 2 bearded dragons that are just over 2 years old. They have never liked eating veggies but we have always tried to offer them a variety. Unfortunately they have no interest and we just end up throwing it all out. We have tried peppers, carrots, all different types of greens and squash, grapes, bananas, etc with no success. The only foods that they will eat are superworms, crickets, horn worms and lettuce(we know there is no nutrition but its the only way to get them any water). I have been looking at care sheets and have created a huge list of stuff to try and just want to make sure they are all safe before I start. Also any advice on which ones might be more successful would be great.

Those look like the list from Beautiful Dragons. I would follow the guidelines there for each item in terms of what's a staple and what's better to feed occasionally. I've had good luck cutting different kinds of squash into small worm shaped pieces to sit on top of a salad of dark greens. If it comes down to it, sometimes tough love works and just withhold everything but salad for a week or so to try and get them started on it.
