Evening all just recently got a 14 week old dragon eats well and seems to be bonding well , first thing i done was get rid of the awfull woodchipping substrate and replace it with kitchen towel, has been eating well on medium locusts has been introduced to rocket and a few mealworms what im looking for from you guys is advice as we have never owned a dragon before ie type of salad to give how many times should we be feeding him baths etc etc all the stuff a newbie should know hes a craking little fella , we say fella havent had him sexed yet. any help in these early stages of having wee ozzy as part of the family would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hi - quickest way to cover some of this is to direct you to stickies. For water/bathing see viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1372 vegetable food stuff is covered here http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html just chop any veg finely and feed raw. With frequency of feeding - veg should be provided daily early in the morning with 2 feeds of live during the day plus a top up if needed an hour or so before lights out. This can be cut back as he get bigger, stick with crix if you can as locusts are habit forming and mealworms should only be used as treats as they are fattening. Hope this helps - just read through the stickies on each section as they should answer most of your questions.
