jam Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Have a baby dragon - not eating well - having trouble getting live food and won't eat the baby dragon pellets. Any suggestions please. Feeding flies at present and I know not ideal but it either lives or dies. I thought these guys were eating machines ... Have tried with some greens and fruit but not interested. Help please!!!

jam Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Many thanks for that - at what age do they start to shed and will this affect the eating - have kept blue tongues but not sure about these guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogod Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 mine dont eat the pellets either, get baby crickets or locusts from trade me or bio supplies, there are baby locusts for sale on Trade me at the moment. Others on here have more experience but having proper lighting is important, Ive had one who wasnt good eater but seemed healthy. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExotherMan Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 They quite often only go for life foods when very young. And it very much depends on what they are already used to. Just feed whatever it will take and gradually try to introduce new things, definately try to get them only fruit/vege particularly leafy greens as soon as they start to take notice. Otherwise just make sure that whatever you are feeding, the dragon is getting adequate calcium supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varanophile Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Have a baby dragon - not eating well - having trouble getting live food and won't eat the baby dragon pellets.

Help please!!! pellets are bad. call biosuppliers in Akl and get him to send you a wax moth colony- 500 should do it. great food for young beardies- full of fat and protein. if he sends you other bugs they will likely die in transit, but the waxies will be sweet.
