Hi Beardie Lovers!
My 1 and 1/2 year old beardie Fire used to love his salad and finish the whole plate every day, but since his first birthday he started not eating as much as he used to. He gets different greens all the time, but his favorites are arugula and kale. I feed him 10 dubia roaches (sometimes dusted with calcium/multivitamin powder) about twice weekly now and he loves those but he's not eating as many greens as he used to. I've tried bee pollen and fruit to entice him over, but it hasn't worked very well. He still eats his salad, but very rarely and doesn't like any vegetables that aren't green. Any tips on getting him to eat more salad would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🥬

As long as hes eating it thats great -- cut back on the amount of insects see if that entices him to eat more salad

Thanks! I'll try that.
You can also try adding something like Repashy or Fluker's Garden blend.
They are soft moist pellets.

My guy was going nuts over the moist pellets.
I got Some Repashy too.
He's shedding.

Possibly put them in his bowl with the salad.
Some Beardies love the pellets/formulations.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
