    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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 :)

What is Cilantro? Sorry, I haven't heard of it before and I was just curious... :)
 
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.
 
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.
 
I've never heard of Cilantro, but I'll check it out. :) My dragons are both really good at eating greens, but I bet they'd like the extra "treat." ;)
Also, I didn't realize that they could eat mint leaves... I have it growing wild in my yard. :)
 
OMG!! I tried the mint leaves today in their veggies and they both went to town on them. LOL. Thanks for the little tip. Will definitely keep that one.
