Mix some crickets in with the veges. And when soaking the pellets, you can soak it in fruit juice which might appeal to him more. Also try some banana, they normally love it!

How old is the beardie? If he's old enough to eat a small, freshly-shed mealie - chuck one of those in the food. It'll squirm around and catch his attention. My adults all love the Rep-Cal beardie pellets, and it's a good way to up their water intake seeing as you've got to soak them first.

Oh and Herp Shop has a special on them this month, I'm gonna order some. My local pet store charges $20 a tub

How long does a tub last?

Oh and incidentally, how much does it cost you to feed a beardie per week?

Grind it up and sprinkle it onto his greens - I use it with Calcium and Vitamins to dust my roaches for my Ackies...

That will teach me to skim read

Young Dragons often ignore their greens and eat them much more as they get older...
