Hi,
I have a 4-5 month old beardie who has a healthy appetite but has always been rubbish with veg. I understand he needs 80% bugs and 20% veg but its more like 95% bugs and 5% veg at the moment.
I am feeding the veg to the dubias/locusts/crickets which could mean this is OK as he should be getting some of nutrients from them (also some note do you dust the veg the bugs eat in calcium powder too?)
I am concerned as he tends to eat even less actual veg these days unless I give it a day or so without any food at all.
Veg offered ranges from spring greens, dandelions, squash, watercress, kale, peas/apples/blueberries occasionally.. plenty of other veg tried that he won't eat like peppers, carrots, parsley/herbs... (I have tried multiple times and even mixed them in with calcium worms)
Do you have any tips on how to get them to eat more veg? And if not, is feeding well fed bugs just as good?
Thanks.
