Default Best way to switch beardie from live to pellets?



Hi all,

I feed my beardie swiss chard and shredded carrot, but he still loves his
superworms. Now that the days are getting shorter here he has begun to
eat less and the superworms have begun to spoil before he can eat them all.

So I'd like to switch him from greens + worms to greens + pellets, but I'm
worried that he'll refuse the eat them and hold out for worms until he
starts wasting away nibbling greens alone.

I've put pellets into the tank for a couple days now and I'm pretty sure
he hasn't touched them yet.

Is there a good way to make this switch? Should I hand feed him for a
while? Or will he eventually make the switch on his own before he gets as
hungry as I worry he will?

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Grey
