Beardie Still Won't Eat His Greens

This is my second thread on this matter, and nothing has really changed. He simply will not eat any kind of greens, veggies, and the one fruit that he will eat is mango. I just can't give him very much of that. I had the problem in a previous post about crickets and meal worms binding him up. Well I went and bought some freeze dried meal worms. Then I soak them in water for about 30 minutes and it softens up the shells and plus he goes after them while they are still in the water dish. So at least I know he is getting plenty of water. All his temps, humidity, lights, all are where they should be. He has been to the vet and is in perfect health. I don't know what else I can do. I still offer him fresh food every day. Ive tried different ways of mixing his salads and different times of feeding him. Nothing is working at this point and it has me stressed due to the fact I feel as if I'm failing him in some way. I've just done all that I can to this point. It seems all he wants is live food, which binds him up. He gets baths every night and is allowed out to walk freely around, with me watching him of course. Please any help before I go crazy.....

Re: Beardie Still Wont His Greens

find a meat source baby food, like chicken or what not,, just make sure it does not have anything else in there other than the meat, Mix that in with his greens and see what he goes for. Try different ones.
I also had one in that was the same way, I used to take his greens and shake them so he would actually hunt them, it was quite ridiculous, but it worked. Dop the green in the baby food and let him sniff it, then shake it and see how that goes.

Thanks for info on the baby food I will go out and get some.Yeah ive tried to shake his greens and he just is like"Yeah right who do you think you are fooling"lol.Do you know if the freeze dried meal worms are ok for him?I see nothing different about them other then the fact they are gut loaded then freeze dried.
