Ok... I havent fed MoJo veggies in a while... I know i'm very slack... anywho i gave him some peas the other day and he wouldnt eat them.... later that day before i gave him his woodies, i decided to chuck the peas thru his calcium powder and i offered him one... which he happily ate....I did 3 more the same way which he ate and i was pretty happy he'd had some greens....
1st question is, Are peas good for him?? and how often should he have them??.
About 5 mins ago i chopped up a lil brocolini, carrot, strawberry and some peas.... dusted them in the powder again and offered it to him, He had 2 lil bits of brocolini, lil bit of carrot, same of strawberry and no peas.... after he tried all, I offered him more but he wasnt interested... so i just left some in the bottom of his enclosure. (will check later if he ate some).
Should i just keep offering him veggies everyday?? I'll get some bok choy today.... can't find mustard greens.... what else could i try him on that i can get from the super market??. Do i keep him off woodies all together until he's eatting his greens??
He's an eastern beardie and is approx 8 months old.... what should his diet be at this age?? Should i keep to his calcium two days in a row, vitamin on the 3rd and nothing on the 4th days feeds??
Thanks in advance guys

They won't eat anything but live food dusted, obviously they can't smell/taste the powder til its too late!

i only dust stuff while theyre growing,...and maybe every month or 2 for my adults,..but they get lots of sunlight.
i hand feed a few bits of green bean a day and they grab them happily.
i slice it about 5mm thick, diagonally.

then Reptile Science..Vitamin Mineral Spray..............inject pinkies before given to dragons,monitors&frillies
& always gutload mealworms-wetting a cut carrot then dust before giving it to mealworms works well...i do that the night before feeding them. | | |
