How to get my baby bearded dragon to eat greens. Any suggestions for the current diet I have my dragon on?
My dragon is @4-5 inches long. Ive had him for a month. His diet currently is as follows:
breakfast: 15-25 pinhead crickets, lunch: 15-25 pinhead crickets dinner: baby food, (raspberry/ peach, or carrot mango). Once a week I give him greenbean baby food. I give him colored greens once a day. The greens is what he does not like at all. Does any one have any suggestions? Currently I use mustard greens. He ate them once, and wont have anything to do with them anymore. Ive tried to hand feed him. What kind of greens, or veggies could work better? I mist him a couple of times a day, and he has a water bowl. I dust his crickets twice a week with Dragon Dust ICB.
Baby beardies don’t always take to greens right away… Just keep trying, and maybe mix them up to see what he likes. Other options are collard greens, endive, escarole, dandelion greens (usually appreciated), bok choy, turnip greens, and limited amounts of kale and romaine. NO spinach though.
Otherwise the diet sounds good, though you need to get a good calcium powder (Repcal or the like) to use once a week. The Dragon Dust is fine for vitamins etc… But it doesn’t have near the calcium they need
