- Grind the salad just enough that your mixture stays thick and no clumps are left.
- Take a 3 ml syringe and fill it with the slurry.

The slurry is a great way to feed bearded dragons that are very picky with their food.
Syringe feeding should never be the first go-to if your bearded dragon stops eating, though. Consult your vet and check as there might be an underlying health issue.
