woah guys dont give in yet!
took my frilly ages to accept vegbut he will eat it occasionaly, admittedly a lot gets wasted but just knowing that he gets a little in to him is it worth it, how many live prey items do you guys offer and how often? how old are your dragons?

This one gets 2 med hoppers every other day or 5-6 large crickets for a change occasionally. Unsure of exact age as pet shop bought but just over 10" nose to tail tip.
I'll continue to offer him veg /fruit every day though as it is being offered to the fijis and beardies anyway

I have 2 frillys. My female is 2years old and gets fed three times a week on 6 large locusts or 6 medium roaches. My male is about 10months and gets fed 5 times a week and gets about 6 small roaches or 5 medium locusts. They don't live together.

well they both sound well fed, I know a lot of people over feed them so I thought maybe that may result in them turning up their noses at veg, keep persevering though!

Thats great!
Almost all the veg I offer is wasted but even a tiny variance in the diet can only be a good thing!

Seems that if his veg mix is put in first thing just before his lights go on he will nibble through it during the day before being offered his live food later in the afternoon whereas if offered it later in the day he will show no interest whatsoever in it
