Getting my new beardie to eat fresh food
I've had Zola for about 5 days, she's a total sweetheart and seems to be doing well with adjusting. No signs of serious relocation stress, no stress marks or anything. But her previous owner fed her a pellet only diet since she was a baby, so I've had a lot of trouble getting her to eat the things she should eat. She has no issue with live roaches and superworms, but she will not touch her salad. I give her salad in the morning and don't offer bugs until evening, so maybe she'll get hungry enough to eat her veggies, but she just holds out for the bugs. Yesterday I didn't give her any bugs hoping that she would eat some veggies today. I gave her turnip greens, arugula, yellow squash and a couple of blueberries in her salad this morning, well she ate the blueberries but still didn't touch anything else.
I've tried putting worms in her salad, she picks them out without getting any veggies. I've also tried spritzing her salad bowl, putting her salad on a paper towel, and picking the veggies up and dropping them to try and entice her but she just looks at me like I'm stupid, lol.
What should I do? Should I give her bugs today so she doesn't go hungry or hold out so she'll eat her veggies?
