Won’t eat veggies

[NewBeardyOwner]

My beardie Kendra is 3-4 years old and she is being a stubborn little brat cause she refuses to eat her veggies she only wants her worms. We have tried every trick in the book to get her to eat her veggies and the only way we get any veggies into her is if a worm is clinging to it. I am beyond frustrated and don’t know how I can get her to eat her veggies.

Does anyone have any ideas that can help me?

Have you fed her BSFL? How about silk worms? These are good lures to the salad bowl - let me know I can try and help you

Hi! I've heard people have had success by sprinkling pure bee pollen onto the salads

Yes I’ve done BSFL, silkworm(she would sometime get a bit of veggies if the worm was clinging to it) & horned worms with the same result, and wax worms.

Kendra will wait until the worm is no long hidden by the veggies to grab it just to bypass the veggies
