Thank you! I will give the romaine a shot too. I washed them, and put them in a bit wet. I haven't weighed him yet, but they said he was 5-6 months. His water dish is very shallow. He goes after the crickets like a mad man though...lol. He is very cute and sweet. He starts to fall asleep on you if you rub his head sometimes.Originally Posted by Jabberwocky Dragons
Beautiful dragon! Very nice pickup
Be careful that your dish is very shallow if he is still small. Unfortunately, babies can drown in unbelievably shallow water.
If he's not eating greens, then I would start with Romaine. Darker greens like Collard and Turnip are slightly more nutritious but Romaine is much more palatable to the dragons. Once you get him started on Romaine, work in the collard, turnip, and mustard greens.
Most of our hatchlings start eating greens within their first week or two. The trick I've found to work best is to put a pile of greens in the enclosure before spraying them (we spray instead of using water bowls). They run over to the greens and start licking the moisture off and inevitably grab a piece or two in the process. Once they realize it's food, they'll start eating it regularly.
