Hey guys! The past week has been really slow for the dragons, Lia has sat under her basking light all day long, and Cyrus has returned to his sleeping corner. Lia still doesn't eat her veg, at all, so I went down to the shop today to buy some supers just to give her a little something, but the shop didn't have any so I ended up coming home with 3 boxes of locusts (24 in total), for Cyrus and Lia. (These locusts would eat little Gary up!) Anyway, I came home, and put them on the side which is in sight of Cyrus' viv, when he sprinted to the glass, as if he's been starving! Keep in mind that these guys haven't had any proper feeding in about 2 months, and before that were both eating supers (which I think Cyrus 'tolerates').
I dropped one in, and within 2 seconds it was gone! After this he had 3 more adults before going to bask.
I then went to Lia, and she's never seen locusts in her life. I dropped one next to her basking tower, and she stared for about 15 seconds, then backed up a few inches..
AND THEN ATTACKED! Honestly, who knew fat girls can move so quickly, her tower wobbled so much from the momentum! She charged after it and it was gone instantly! After this she had another adult and then 1 medium locust, because I don't want her to eat this, I'd rather she nommed on her veggies like a good little girl, but that ain't happening! I've never seen her want food that badly, even when she used to eat her supers, she'd slowly crawl over, they really love these.
So, the fact that they both went after these so eagerly makes me worried I've been starving them for a few months! And also, worried that they don't like the dubia roaches, as these have been offered every week or so for them, but they never had a bite. What do you guys think? I'm considering selling the roaches, I've got a few thousand in there that would never be eaten!
Now, some pictures.
Look at that adorable red belly! He slept here, little cutie.
"Eh baby, you like muscles?" He was pancaking here.
Look at those sleepy eyes
Just on his rocks after eating the locusts tonight
For a fat girl, she can throw out those sexy legs pretty well!
She's a proper little girl, wears make up and everything
Thanks guys, will be updating with more pics soon, and please reply quickly about the feeding, need to know what to do with the roaches, and so I can decide how to feed the dragons!
