I know completly about Bearded Dragon Nutrition Sheet, But I was wondering how you prepare your beardys salad... Pictures would be nice, and also say whats in there =)... My beardy (2years old) never eats his salad, and I have tried a ton of different things...Help would be nice

I know how you feel!
Dex waged a life long war on veggies.
I had to settle for shredding the veggies very finely and mixing worms in with them. That way as she tried to pick out the worms she'd get a bite or two of veg in their.

Also remember what your feeders eat they eat, so offer your crix/locusts greens too.

Ruben however loves his greens.
Here's a picture of one of his salads.

Hi~

Perhaps you can try putting soem dragon dust on the salads or some appetite stimulater http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=188

Also, Try Baby food in a baby med syringe, this works great fro giving them a good variety of veggies and they are really cheep, you dont have to buy a bushel that will just go to waste. Judahs fav is carrots, but this is high in sugar. Try soem squash, peas, sweet potatoes etc. Watch out abou giving them to much of chicken or turkey though, its high in protien and can consitpate them.

I personally shread the salad up into small bits and then put soem other stuff on top like shreaded squash or fresh peas from snap peas, little shreads of apple or strawberry. Soemtimes when Judah is sheading he wont eat his salad unless it has calcium or Miner All on it, it is like his salt & pepper for soem reason he loves the taste of his vits.

for his salads I feed him an Organic Herb Salad mixiture, he has never liked collards, so I have to use the Salad mix for the bulk then I sneak in a bit of kale, mustard greens etc. He does enjoy dandelion greens, wheat grass, carrot tops I ould say these are his fav greens, he loves Arugula even though its not the best for him, so I only give him a little tiny bit now and then. I grow alot of my own veggies and leafy greens durring the summer, so I can switch it up for him and he doesnt get board.
