When they are young they preffer to eat crickets and as long as you keep giving them the fresh option of vegi's eventually they will take to it.... I got to beardies and they are 3 months old and they barely touch there vegi's...lol but sometimes you catch them out

Young dragons will become picky at this time of year, don't worry to much if they refuse greens atm, try bumping up the temps, keep the ambient at 25 to keep them eating well.

Young beardies are mostly insectivorous so dont be to worried if they arn't eating green's yet
as they become older and enter adult hood they eat alot more vegetation than insects.

if you want, try spinning a clover between your fingers infront of them, the movement should stimulate them and they may go for it, do this for a few days and they'll eventually get a taste for greens, thats how i got mine onto veggies

camo.
