will not eat greens! even when hand fed now.

Any Ideas? I've read that if you withhold their protein source they'll usually end up gorging on the greens/ veggies, not Ganjoe! He's 1 year old.

what greens have you tried? also try cropping some supers or other worms on the salad and see if that will help

Im in the same situation with my dragon, he stopped eating greens at about 6-8 months old.

Ive tried holding out on protein and he just won't go for it. Ive tried Kale,Dandelion,Turnip,Collard,Mustard. He used to eat Turnip,Collard,Mustard Greens as a staple every day salad and he loved them, Occasionally I would add in some butternut squash and he would eat that as well. Ive put various worms in and he might get a bite or two but thats it, he won't go for it. He had some Pin-Worms that we treated for and he is acting better and will eat his protein much easier, but still no greens?

Thanks for the fast responses! I've tried putting worms in with the salad, he plucks out all the worms leaving a skeleton of greens.
I always have collards on hand but i've tried mustards for awhile,kale briefly, turn up briefly. Recently I have been adding squash to the mix, bell peppers, he's not interested. Throw some protein in their and he's all over it.
