With mine I give him/her veggies and fruit in a small dish, mostly romaine lettuce, with strawberries or cantalope.

I would make a smorgishboarg with mine. Mash everything together so he can't pick out only what he likes, or try mixing all this with some premium canned cat food, and don't forget the D3 calcium :)

Kool....will try that!

Just a note... romaine lettuce doesn't actually have any nutrients, it's mainly "crunchy water". You'd be better off offering endive, escarole, dandelion leaves, etc...

Mine loves blueberries. You can try those. He also likes green beans, peas, carrots. But I too have trouble getting him to really eat the healthier, leafy greens.

Never add any supplements to cat or dog food, they already contain way too much for your reptile's needs. Excess D3 cannot pass through a reptile's system, but will buildup in the liver. Personally I would avoid cat or dog food in general, but if you do, never add anything to it.
