YAY! For Ash! Super Picky Dragon

[keschete]

Does anyone else have picky dragons?

My baby Frilled Dragon is a picky little fella...he sometimes doesn't want you to watch him eat....

But my beardies were always good eaters until their first brumation!!! OMG! 2 Vet visits, hours of fretting...

After 6 months of me having to hand feed Ash, he started eating hornworms after I starved him at my Vet's suggestion. He is perfectly healthy, just very moody and picky. No Supers, no crickets, no wax worms, no phoenix worms, no veggies. He only wanted baby food and I had to pry his mouth open and shove superworms in.

I went through a cage and light redo, all sorts of stuff. The Vet thinks he is just a brat!

Well, I spent a small fortune of hornworms, hornworm eggs, habitat cups and food for my 100 plus hornworm eggs......ugh.

Tonight Ash actually ate a superworm by himself out of a bowl! OMG, I wanted to cry!!!!

My question is, how many other owners have these type issues? I know BayouPig went through this with her Em, who is about the same age as Ash...

My guy Sol loves his buggies and eats em will much gusto, but Salad is an eh. He is about 3 years old too. It kinda worries me, because at this point he should be eating more greens! His sister Elara eats more of em then he does.
I have only had him for a week and a half, but still...he picks at his salad once in a while. I have yet to see him actually eat salad from his dish, but he has eaten some from my hand. I've tried grating carrots on it, but he didn't seem interested. I'll try a few more brightly colored veggies/fruits later.
I don't think Sol would ever be the extreme of picky...he loves food too much. :lol:
Cinder, my little boy who passed was very picky towards the end, but he was a very different dragon. He would only eat baby food, and I had to force feed it to him.
Yay for Ash, so glad he is learning to eat again! You just watch, soon he will have a love affair with eating.
