Morcs Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I didnt think theyd brumate if kept indoors and their heat is kept at a constant all year round. Mine just had its first shed since i got here, shes looking really good Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 spinach is a bit dodgy. some sites say its a no no, others say occasionally. shouldnt brumate unless temp has dropped or maybe of decent size and just feels its the time of year? ive still got 2 which are young but about 40cm, and theyve really slowed down in past month or so. Only feeding 2/3 times a week wher as prior almost every day. They seem sweet but its like they know its winter (temp has dropped a bit here but i still have a good 30C basking rock) good luck i wouldnt worry too much as it doesnt look overly skinny.

Morcs Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Why cat food? all my sources say dog food... Dog food is a slightly more complete diet, whereas catfood is just meat due to them being carnivores... I feed Hill science diet tins (yay for working at animates) and she loves it. As for feeding, mine hides underneath my basking tile a lot, and when i want to feed, i just get her out and place her so her head is over the foodbowl, most of the time she will eat. other times she will walk right through the bowl and slither away.

Insect Direct Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 yeah well what greens do i give her then? if i cant feed spinach or lettuce what else? got some cat food pellets and wet food will try feed her in enclosure I give mine the same salad i give my beardies. Nasturtium, mustard and dandelion leaves as the bulk of the salad. Little bit of clover, oregano. Parsley very occasionally. And flowers once a week when feeding daily or atm probably once a month. (but not much flowering here atm anyway other than nasturtium and some clover). this is probably ok for a general guide for vege http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.c ... ition.html Ive never seen them eat the greens on its own hence mix it up with catfood, that way if theyre hungry theyl eat it ps 25C is too cold imo, want 30-35C Why cat food? all my sources say dog food...

Can get caserole with vege etc. Dog food is probaby ok to, but variety is key. Insects, fruit, vege, pinkies and baby birds etc probably best.. I put food in, let them eat then take out as soon as they walk off otherwise they like to walk through it and make a mess silly skanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
