Default getting beardie to eat greens ?

Hi, each day i give my beardie a nice range of salad & veg yet he only seems to eat a very small amount. one day i cut down on his amount of crickets and he seemed a bit more interested in the greens, does anyone think this is ok to do about once of twicw a week ?
ps how do i post a pic of my beardie, says enter url, cant i just do a search ? cheers

We only give our beardies live food in the evening. we give a fresh dusted bowl of greens every morning.

you need to visit photobucket and open an account.
you upload photo's from there...
Good luck

They tend to eat more live foods than greens when they are young. Mine never touched greens until he was about 6 months old and now eats them every day along with his live foods.
At feeding times he eats the live food offered and then wanders over to the veg/salad and eats that.
I would not worry about it just make sure it has greens available every day.

I give my 2 their greens in the morning first, after sleeping all night they are usually hungry, then I give them their crix/locusts that way they eat less beasties too

I do the same as most, a big bowl of leafs in the morning and when i get home from work they've normally eat at least half of that, and then feed the crix in the eve, the still eat the crix like they havent eat in weeks, they've doubled there crix consumtion in the last month, there about 4/5 mts old.
