How to get my beardie to eat waxworms?

I have tried giving her some, but she won't eat them! she looks at them like she's going to eat them, but won't.

she eats her other foods so that isn't the problem. and i know waxworms are like fat so i'm not going to give her a lot. only as a treat.

so what can i do to make her interested in eating them?

    I wouldn't worry to much, except that beardies normally love those, too much in fact. Which world lead me to believe something else may be wrong. If your feeding mealworms, stop. Make sure you have good uvb, this can screw up feeding. And make sure you have proper basking temperatures. If all that is good, and his diet is good, then don't worry about it. He may just not like 'em. Try butterworms for treats, they have a little less fat, and are very high in calcium.

    If she doesn't want to eat them, don't give her them...it's no big loss they're not really a useful feeder except for putting weight on thin animals.

    well i guess, if she don't like em', she don't like em'. don't try to force feed her something she doesn't like (like feeding a kid broccoli XP)
