Re: I cant get him to eat greens..
From what I remember, you BD is a baby right? Some wont even look at greens until they're around 6-8 months old. As long as you suppliment the crix with calcium (and a ton of it. You can never seem to give them enough) and multi vitamins, he should be fine. my BD didn't even look at his veggies until he was about 8 months old. I'd wait a month, then offer him a small amount of veggies once a week until he eats them.

Mine eat green's, I swear he'll eat a sock if I threw it in there lol. Try cutting it in bite size peice's and if you have tweezer's use those for feeding it to him.

Re: I cant get him to eat greens..
We are feeding our little ones Pheniox worms and a few finely chopped greens. With the pheniox worms, there's no need to dust. Of course, we are buying 1200 worms about once a week!! This feeds 21 growing little ones.
A few dogs, a bunch of chickens, 3 ducks, and 2 Pygmy goats

Re: I cant get him to eat greens..
I have had babies eat greens at 5 days old. Try misting them a little(with water) in the wild they lick dew off the leaves and take a bite as well. Also what I have tried is mixing green with meal worms they end up eating them at the same time and then realize the like them. I did have a beardy once that NEVER ate them but most eat them with gusto. Some beardies aren't interested unless there is movement and greens dont move. Good luck

Re: I cant get him to eat greens..
And make sure you are trying different kinds of greens.
They can be particular. My 9 month old won't touch kale, collards or mustard greens- however he will eat endive & escarole. And actually the little sucker loves romaine, so if I have time to hide healthy greens inside romaine, I'll do that.
But some just won't until they are a bit older.
