Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Feeding Greens
So my beardie will eat greens once in a while. I also bought this mix from Petco that has dehydrated greens, with some corn, and green beans. I was told to feed him sweet fruit, and Romaine Lettuce too.
How can I make him eat the lettuce and fruit?
He loves to eat crickets, wax worms, and meal worms.
Once in a while I'll cover them with calcium powder and he'll eat that.
Thank you =)

Feed greens as the first meal of the day, feed bugs at nite.
Collard, mustard and turnip greens are good.
I like to grate up some squash or zuccini and carrots to mix in.
There's alot of other veggies to feed but these are my basics.

Well I just buy a certain amount of crickets for all my lizards, and just throw them in the cage with food and water. Also with the worms, I just put them in a dish and watch him eat it.

All of my beardies eat greens almost as soon as they eat bugs..one trick that always works...take the [small] pieces turnip,collard,mustard and drop them in the cage like you would the bugs.This is provided that you have paper towel or newspaper as the cage flooring [Or a bare floor].If you have sand or something that would stick to the veggies,then first put a small flat plate in and drop the greens in.I don't bother with fruit...greens are much more important.If you or a friend has a mulberry tree in your yard,beardies love those leaves,too.Just wash them well and drop them in.I feed greens first and crickets after about 15 minutes...they eat EVERYTHING...never fails ...and my dragons will eat greens more than once a day with this method.

Oh and it's not good to leave free-roaming crickets in the cage...they can and will bother the dragons at night and can actually cause wounds from chewing on the dragon.Buy yourself a plastic tote from Wal-mart and put your crix in there.That way they can be gut-loaded before feeding to your beardie as well.Put some type of egg-crating or wadded up cardboard for the crickets to crawl in in the tote.

Yeah I do that too. I leave the egg crates in his cage... The crickets don't seem to bother him either..I put food so they can eat that... I'll try the green trick too. His bedding is walnut shells, and I have containers I put the veggies and fruit into as well.

Actually,the crushed walnut shells is not a good substrate...can cause impaction,you are better off with newspaper...some people use washed children's play sand[ non-silica],I've used it with no problem in some of my cages.
