I know this may sound like an entirely stupid question, but-
I have a ~2-3mo bearded dragon who I'm trying to introduce greens too (for the life of me he wont touch them) and I leave him a little feeding dish with them in it but they dry up so fast! I even spritz them but then I go back and they're either completely shrivled or just about. I try to put them as far from the lamp as possible. He completely ignores them, though. I think this is normal for his age from what I've been reading. What mixes do you guys use for the little guys? I've offered collard and mustard greens. Even fruits he wont touch.
Also, meal worms- I know he isn't supposed to eat them for the risk of becoming impacted but he seems to completely ignore grubs. I offer him silk worms, he eats about one or two then turns his nose up at them :? I try not to give him too many of the meal worms but he dives right for them. I've been interested in trying phoenix worms but I figure if he doesn't care of the silk worms, he'll probably feel the same about the phoenix.
I guess I should just stick to crickets then? Do any of you keep your own crickets for your little beardies?
Thanks all!
