Ok that's downright adorable. It looks like 13 there. Is that all of them or just as many that would fit in the photo? Congrats on all those beautiful little babies! :clap: :banana: :D

Thank you :D You got the count right...there are 13 out. And, there is one in the incubator still with a yolk sack attached, and one with a nose poking out of an egg. There are 4 eggs still just sitting there.
They are all starting to eat, although I have to feed them individually with a syringe full of pureed pellets. They are TERRIFIED of crickets, they run away as fast as their little legs will go! And the pooping has begun! I dont even wanna THINK about the poopie messes I have in store for me! :omfg:

Seriously congratulations - thats quite a bunch you got there. I have to admit they are hard to resist and I have come close to caving in to getting one before. That pic didn't help any :P

BDs rock and yours are so cute, what you going to do with them? Wont be long before they are eating in upwards of 1K crickets per week.

No crix for these babies. Pellets and greens only! Makes for a much healthier dragon. No worries about coccidia either. :D

Have you always raised your BDs on pellets? Mine eat pellets but I use them more as a extra food item not as the staple over crickets.

After a battle with pinworms and coccidia, my vet suggested ditching the crix. Well scrubbed greens, veggies and few fruits, and supplements are the best way to go. Now all 5 of my adults get nothing but that. They havent seen a bug in a long time. I wish I could afford silk worms, those are the best staple bug there is, and they don't carry parasites.
The babies didnt seem to want to start eating, thats the only reason I tried crix the other day. I've got them eating a pellet/supplement mush right now. I'm going to put some finely chopped greens in there today, see what they do.

Cool, maybe I will switch my guys and girls over to pellets for awhile see how things go.
