How can I get my RES to eat her veggies?

I've got a young RES who I spoiled with goldfish and ReptoMin pellets for food for the past two years. But now I'm hoping she's not pyramiding and now that she's bigger (6.5") I want to get her eating more veggies.

She barely touches carrots and will not eat anything else. How do I get her to start eating leafy greens?

You can withhold food for a few days til they'll eat anything, or try different veggies, or possibly dip them in tuna juice and see if they eat it. Just keep at it and eventually she'll give in.

I have withheld Crush's pellets and so far he has only eaten raddichio lettuce. I didn't have any luck with any other veggies, including carrots. Just keep trying veggies until she likes some.
