So my bearded dragon will not eat her veggies and fruits.... i don't know why but yesterday i mashed up strawberries without seeds, and dabbed it on her mouth at first she licked it then she started chewing on my finger. but then couldn't get her to eat any more. If you have any advice on how to get them to eat their veggies and fruits please comment...... I WILL TRY ANYTHING THAT IS SAFE

Just keep trying eventually they will eat them. Sometimes putting worms in their salad helps. When the salad moves they may eat it. I have an 18 month old very stubborn salad eater even though when I first got her she would eat everything. What usually works for her is sprinkling her salad around her tank in areas that she walks and sometimes she will eat a bite.

To get mine (Draco my bearded dragon) to eat his veggies and fruits for the first time I moved then around with my fingers but then I like put strawberry across his mouth like he's putting li stick on after he licks his mouth I put the strawberry quickly in his mouth as he chomps on it. Now he lives strawberries and more!

Mine are stubborn, if I put something up to their mouths to try to get them to eat it they clamp their mouth shut!
