Re: dopey dragons..
ok, now that im done retrieving crickets lol... how late should i let these guys have light for? I typically turn the lights on at 7am. i did get some good pics of these two they are getting along wonderfully. i didnt get any neat waves tonight pooey but otherwise they are a joy to have. at this point im sure their disintrest in crickets have to do with settling in at this point.

Re: dopey dragons..
Okay seeing as I'm doing co-op with a Bearded Dragon Breeder(Chris R), I have learned that he feeds veggies ( lettuce and other greens) As well as meal worms or super worms, but make sure the worm is as big as the space between their eyes, if its larger they could become impacted. What Chris does is the lights are all on timers, probably 12/12, 12 hours on, 12 hours off. But never feed when the lights are off, they need lights to digest.
Hope this helps
Sorry if anything was confusing, its been rough lately around here, parents.. lol
Anyways... Good luck!
EDIT.. Sorry I just realized, turn your lights on at 8 am, and turn them off at 8 pm. Hope that helps!..END EDIT

Congrats! Now make sure you use Calcium dust! That is a MUST HAVE for a healthy dragon!
And also, you should try to invest in a timer, that way you don't have to worry about anything
Good luck! Hope my advice helped!

Yeah, get a timer that will be worth it and not melt down on you.
Also what you could do is take the legs off the crickets and put them in a dish and let your dragons eat. But yes Calcium dust is a MUST, if you want a dragon with big strong bones
PS..I myself don't have a dragon, but when you go to a breeders house every night for co-op you learn alot. I love it

Yeah try to get rid of those ants ASAP. Also you should try meal worms, or small super worms. When their full grown they get about 5 every other day plus 3 maggot like worms. With dust.
Hope this helps, good luck make sure to get some more pics!

Re: dopey dragons..
ive been informed baby dragons shouldnt eat mealworms, their exoskeleton is much too hard... i could stand to be corrected though. on the topic of the damn ants my husband is supposed to be picking some stuff up tomorrow on his way home from work. its almost midnight where we are and hes just now getting ready to leave work grrrr
