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.

What to do now?
Abbott and Costello are now about 4 months old. I had them eating greens for a little while....now for over 2 weeks they have stopped. They won't touch them at all. I have tried all different kinds separate and mixed together everything. My fridge is now full of rotting greens. I do feed them to the crickets they still eat them. What am I doing wrong? How the heck do you get these stubborn things to eat? I started to not feed them any crickets thinking they would get hungry enough to eat greens but wasn't sure if that is a good idea or not. I don't want to make them sick. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If they have reached a stage where they turn up their noses at greens, there's not much you can. Just keep offering them and eventually they will start eating them again. Most of my dragons went through phases like that as well. They'll come around and start eating the greens again after this little phase ends.

The only way my beardie will eat his veggies is if I mix a little cilantro in them.I don't put alot in with the rest of his greens,enough for smell and taste.
Beardies supposedly LOVE cilantro, and he DOES

you can find cilantro in the fresh herb section of your supermarket. I have never tried that either. I'm going to have to try it and see if it'll work with my guys. They don't touch greens at all. All they will eat are superworms. I'm low on roaches because they are breeding now and I don't have enough babies to get back into feeding them roaches.

Cilantro, really, I will have to give it a try. My beardies did the same thing. First they ate them like crazy and now only once in a while.

We tried our dragons on mint leaves. They went wild for the stuff! Maybe it's the strong odor that attracts them . . . ?

Maybe it is the strong odor. I cilantro and mint leaves safe for them to eat. If so I am going to buy some tomorrow.

Cilantro should be safe...it is kind of like a Mexican form or parsly and mint is digestable and good for most animals. But these are my first Beardies so don't know about them...but mint aids in digestion..seems it would do the same for them. I'm getting some cilantro tomorrow and trying it.
