Help with feeding.

I'm having a hard time getting my dragon to eat veggies and she won't touch anything that has even been near a calcium supplement. She loves her super worms and crickets, but only eats a leaf of any green. She is only 8 months old and seems very healthy and loving pal, but I'm concerned. She has regular stools..

Are you not dusting the insects w/ calcium D3 5 x per week once per feeding lightly coated and 2 x per week w/ vitamins w/ beta carotene once per feeding lightly coated? We need her to start eating at least some of the salads now as she needs to go to insects 2-3 times per week at the age of a year old- Order her some BSFL from here www.symtonbsf.com order large use them as lures to the salad bowl do not dust them they are calcium enriched - add them to the tops of her salads in front of her to entice her to the bowl - feed first thing in the morning - feed around 20 at a time if she likes them she will eat them to fast and they will come out undigested - you will need a bowl like this to keep them in https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
here is a website for nutrition ignore the kale info its outdated and its a great staple feeder

Make sure your surface basking temps are taken w/ a digital probe thermometer they are the most accurate 95-100 - the bulb should be a clear solid bright white basking bulb -- your UVB a long tube fixture properly placed for the screen on your tank --- NO coils ---- I can recommend 3 fixtures if you need help
You can also use the super worms to lure her to the salad bowl only use 1-3 and feed every few days --- horn worms are good to add on top as well along w/ silk worms another staple feeder - they stick to everything -

Thank you. I'll try your suggestions. She seems happy and healthy, but I'm not sure of how she was raised before we got her. Just today I started with giving her a nice salad with a mix of greens, cilantro, mustard greens, kale with parsley, sage and strawberry tops and a couple blueberries. By afternoon she hadn't touched anything. Then I gave her about 8 super worms. Then I caught her eating soon greens. Nice to see ,but not enough. I'll try all your suggestions and let you know.

Ok sounds good please dont feed that many super worms - they are a treat worm and should be fed 1-3 every other day -- I am glad she was eating some greens
