melrick1 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have two babies and they are doing well on baby crickets which I can catch down a farm. However they are not interested in their meal worm I try and offer tgem. The crickets are good for now that I can catch them, but when they are out of season I dont realy want to buy them all the time. Any trickes to getting them to eat other stuff? Thanks guys!

chilli Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 i had trouble getting my two to eat worms too(maybe coz they dont move fast enough) anyway i got one of those escape proof dishes and every day i put heaps of worms in there with a few bits of apple(for worms or dragons)and over time they ate them,now they know the dish they run over, been feeding alot of crickets too but ran out yesterday,so today i throu in some dried crickets(soaked in water first)and the fussy dragon ate them so thats good over winter(ill still buy live food but dont need to stress when run out,oh you can also try dog roll or cat food but better double check which one i forgot :oops: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
