Stubborn Beardies

Hey guys! I have had my two dragons since October 2014 when they were a few months old. They've always had a varied diet with greens and different insects. They went into burmuation and they are both active again, however the only thing they will eat are Duba Roaches. They will eat a few bites of squash, maybe a few veggies, but they go after the roaches like I am starving them. One of my dragons is actually loosing weight because I am only feeding roaches in the PM daily. My question would be: do I keep trying to transition them into fruits and veggies and pellet diets or do they still require a lot of live food?
Thanks!

Hi. At their age their diet should be 80%salad and 20% protein. I'd take the one to the vet that is loosing weight. Sounds like parasites. Take a fecal sample and they can test it for you.

Awesome. Wouldn't be the first time they've had parasites. Any advice on this? I clean their whole tank out every other day (Soap and water, then bleach water, then soap water, then boil)
