Veggies

[Bearded dragon lover]

My bearded dragon is about 8 months old and he does not like veggies. I have to trick him by when he chomping on his crickets or mealworms I slide some collard greens or yellow squash into his mouth and eats it.But other wise I have only seen him eat veggies willingly one time, I was wondering what you guys feed you bearded dragons for veggies because I just don't know what to do to get him to eat his veggies on his own.

Try some bsfl- use them as salad lures drop on his salads first thing in the morning 20-25 or so right in front of him - that will get his attention - you can use superworms 1-3 silk worms or horn worms - all as lures to the bowl- if you need websites let me know I will post some - you want a salad bowl w/ a lip on it to keep the bsfl in order large - they are a staple feeder so see how he likes them

if you mean phoenix worms which are the larva of black soldier worms than there is no way because those things are way too expensive
