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

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.

It might take a while....so don't get discouraged. It took one of my girls MONTHS before she would even look at a pellet...lol. Now she RUNS for them!

Re: Another baby pic
Mine eat them now, as a suppliment to their diet so that shouldnt be an issue. I have always just added them to the morning salad much in the way I would toss bacon bits on mine.
