Too me...and I am no expert here....but I would say he might be a little dehydrated. Make sure to give your beardie a good soak in a bath at least once a week for about 20 minutes. This will help them to get the hydration they need as well.
When doing the veggies make sure you are always giving a couple of staples...collards and squash!!!! You might try taking a stawberry or something like that and cutting it up super super small pieces and mixing it in to the salad as well.
And what homegrown said is soooooooooooooooooooo true.....they will make you their slaves. Just ask Princess Bob about that one. I may have to re-hab her at his house. lol She will only eat her greens if I hand feed her. And heaven forefend she chase her food. PLUUUUUEEEESE....lol:rolleyes:

He gets quite a few baths because he refuses to drink out of a dish, eat any type of veggies, or drink out of a dropper..

You have quite the pita!! How'd the waiting game play out? They get most of their water content from the veggies. That's why it's important for him to eat them. Did you ever play the waiting game with the insects?

Who me??? I have not....Princess Bob turns completely black when one gets loose in her cage. Totally freaks out. LOL:rolleyes: But I totally create this monster. She was my first lizard...rocked to bed everynight, given baths with a little scrubby brush, has a cage that is all decked out, and a bed that she insists on using everynight with a blankey, and poop cleaned up immediately or she will again get angry with you. :rolleyes:
Seriously Im screwed!! lol

Re: Droopy eyes
No I have the pain in the butt haha.
The waiting game has pretty much failed. I've tried every stinking veggie and he refuses to eat them. I've mixed a couple superworms in because they are smaller so I figured he'd have to eat some salad, but he picked through the salad....I still havent given him any roaches. But now he is really angry and I can't hold him because he tries to bite me...

Yeah I don't know, it's really frustrating, he used to be really cool, now he's just annoying. All he does is scratch at the sides of his glass and freak out and I can't even hold him anymore.

I have won the battle! Hopefully the war?
I have still been holding out for the last couple days and made him a salad of bok choy, collard greens, and some green beans, stuck them on a plate and put them right next to him and he started gobbling them up!
A couple days ago I was also able to trick him into eating salad by using the trick someone suggested. Wrapping a bug in some veggies! He caught on after a couple bites but I cut the pieces of greens pretty big.
