How to switch beardies from live to dry food?

I wouldn't give that stuff to my bearded dragon. Fresh veggies, the occasional fruit, and some home grown dubias all the way.

The problem is he won't touch them! Spoiled beardies. :)

Haha, I'd try a few more times and then give up. We're using a different formula now but they used get supplemented with repcal which are 3 different colors. Some of the beardies were so picky that they would only eat a certain color (which of course varied from dragon to dragon). I'd find different food dishes filled with nothing but green or red pellets since they picked out all the others :) . Others wouldn't touch it and some ate all of it. They can have very different individual preferences across the dietary board.

Ya I have this one REALLY spoiled beardie who took me around a month for him to touch the lettuce. I sware I went through like 6 kinds of lettuce until I found that he will only eat the tops of red leaf lettuce mixed with a little of romaine and half a big strawberry on the side. :). My beardo. So friendly yet so spoiled. Wont eat crickets just roaches. :P.
