I am just leaving a small offering of mixed vegies in my little ones tank every day. i havent' seen her actually eat any but i'm sure she has a nibble when noone is watching. A lot of people have said that they will just suddenly take to them one day... but i'm in the same boat as you were i guess i will find out soon enough!

i've heard it's the movement that gets them eatting. you can buy vibrating dishes from exo-terra probably other brands as well, to help with the movement. have tried it yet myself though

if you continue to offer them, they should take them eventually. even now my 1 yr old-ish beardy will love his greens one week, then turn his nose up the next, so give them variety and see what happens.
i also find just a little calcium powder on the top will get them going for the white, though not too much as it makes the greens go bad they say.

Hey James.
We have three beardies just over a year old now, i find that when they are hungry they will eat what they are given. Mostly we feed them woodies, with a dusting of calcium and vitamins. Other times i grate carrot and make sure i put the meal worms in there bowl first, so they have to eat some carrot before the woodies.
They are also a fan of clover from the garden. But those with beardies will be the first to tell you that they all have there own personalities and what may be the norm one day will be different the next.
Good luck and welcome to the site

Dito on personalities, i feed veg to same size as live food..... depending on age & size of dragon... i dont grate up veg past 4wks as they need to use their jaw or they will be prone to arthritis when older... long story but a friend learnt the hard way & her dragon died at the young age of 2 1/2yrs........
6ftpythonsgirl- not meaning to upset you.... that is my experience & sadly have had more experience with purchasing adults fed poorly by previous owners... a vegetarian that didnt give live to a gravid female!
