So my beardie used to eat his daily fill of crickets 2x a day and his collard greens... then he would refuse to eat collard greens so I added mainly peppers ontop and he ate them for a while.. now he has went back to occasionally eating his greens/veggies...

Basically, I got a few superworms one time and fed him a few with his crickets during 1 feeding a day.. after a while he has just refused to eat crickets and now will only eat superworms. So now I am stuck with just giving him about 7-8 superworms in the morning/providing greens which he chooses to eat or not depending on the day(seems to prefer to kick them around his enclosure) and I am worried because his poops are quite small now a days because of his small diet/feeding.

Is there any way to perk his interest back up in crickets or collards/peppers/any other veggie?
Ive tried endive, escarole, bok choy, and squash... he'll eat a bit then just kindof give up and not touch them again.

Help.... Because im confused at what to do lol

Hes anywhere from 8-11 months old, his temps are good(mid 90s basking spot, any higher and he wont go near it lol) and have the other bd.org standards of enclosure, linear reptisun tube and the like

How old is he? For veggies I've found variety is key. I offer two or three things at once and rotate it with whatever is fresh and on the beautifuldragons nutrition list. Are the poops small but regular? Has he been losing any weight?

HeS anywhere from. 8-11 months old.. Not entirely sure which. I've tried a variety of things and he just ignores the stuff till he's hungry I assume.

Variety doesn't seem to change much, he does that no matter what item is in his dish.

And I don't have a scale, but visibly it doesn't look like he has lost any weight, whether or not this is true I have no idea.

But yes, his poop is still regular, just really small compared to when he would devour like 20-30 crickets a feeding compared to his now 3-8 worms depending on what he wants to eat in the morning lol

OK the regular poops are a good sign, and naturally smaller if he's eating less. He may just be going through a phase in which he doesn't feel like eating as much. I'd pick up a cheap digital kitchen scale if you can and try to keep track of his weight. As long as it's steady or slowly increasing that's a good sign. If it's decreasing there could be an issue.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
