How do i get my dragon to eat greens and things? She only eats moving things- worms and crickets. And i soak her in sink everyday because she doesnt know what the water bowl is and about egg binding inside her stomach.

You can leave a shallow bowl of water in her enclosure. Eventually, she will figure it out. To get her to eat greens and vegetables, offer them about an hour or two after the heat and lights come on in the morning. You can sprinkle freeze dried prey on it to stimulate her appetite. Once she eats some greens, offer prey. There are also several commercial beardie diets you can use to introduce her to non-prey foods. To prevent egg binding, monitor her for egg development, then provide an adequate lay box for her to deposit eggs. She may lay eggs even in the absence of a male and without mating.
