Does anyone use the pellets as a part of their dragons diet to add variety ?

Dragons are natural food eaters. They like their vegetables and fruit FRESH. They like their bugs and worms LIVE. Only a very hungry dragon goes for the dried crappy pellet stuff or the freeze dried.
When I got my General, she had been fed --" when I remember it" the owner said--on the freeze dried veggies, fruit and crickets with a bit of lettuce and celery tossed in (I wonder that she survived. Probably because the rest of her diet was so dry that it absorbed the excess liquid in the lettuce.) . She had a small water dish in her tank but had NEVER had a soak! They said she had escaped once and was gone for six months. I figure they had lots of roaches in their house! LOL Either that or she tucked herself into a nice cozy corner and brumated! My daughter was visiting and felt sorry for her. She went out to pick dandelion and started telling them how to feed her properly. When they left, the owner sent the General with her.
At MY house she gets dandelion, kale, mustard greens, collards, etc. as well as fruit and berries AND worms! NOW she won't look at the crappy dried stuff. And I only feed pellets to my dog!
Put a little effort into feeding your dragon correctly or don't keep dragons!

Live live live food 
but nothing beats live food.
guess you can feed the pellets to the feeders.... Not to mention if you feed the dry pellets they take up the moisture from the dragon needed for digestion.

When my dragon was a juvenile I did, I would soak them in water so that they were soft! He ate them along with his greens and dubias!
