We feed ours, a packet of Salad called "Leafy Rocket Salad" its a mix bag, you get four different kinds of salad stuff and our beardies love it, we just add the calcuim and the d3 once a week, as for crickets i would only suggest feeding them every 3-4 days, to many crickets can cause impact, the same for meal worms etc..
Also try misting the salad with water, or handfeeding if this dont work, then hes just a fussy bugger lol

yah he only gets 10 crickets every other day and calci worms n phenix worms as a treat n a small pinkie once every two weeks or so..i have no problem feeding him his protein he loves it..just is the only way to get him to eat veg..tho he is ment to b on 80% friut n veg :S just worried he will make himself ill by not eatin it to much..i might try that bag along with his staple friut n veg

thank you
