My bearded dragon eats bugs but won't eat veggies. What can I do?

My bearded dragon loves to eat bugs such as super worms but won't eat his bell peppers or apples. His former home he was just adopted from said he ate fine especially bell peppers. What should I do?

You can try other veggies as well, Beardies often eat much less veggies than they eat bugs, some don't eat veggies at all. just try different types of veggies and hopefully you will find something he eventually likes.
