Feeding before bed

ILoveRJ · Feb 20, 2017

Is feeding two hours before bed/lights out, a sufficient amount of time for digestion?

This is what my breeder told me

2hrs is the minimum time to digest a normal meal, I try to allow 3 to be safe. If your dragon eats above normal meals ( some do ), more time is needed. You can't be to safe!

I'd like to allow more time but his lights on/off schedule is based on me going to work and getting home. I won't have time to feed him in the morning if I push the lights off time back. He usually gets 2 1/2- 3 but sometimes it's 2

how many hours are his lights on?

13 7am-8pm

You could do 14hrs too

ILoveRJ · Feb 20, 2017

Are you sure? He konks right out the second the lights go off. He's only 14-15 weeks

They usually sleep right after lights out. Unless you feel he is sleepy earlier. Some people do 15 or 16 hrs even.

My mob have been on 16 hrs since little, so what if they have a nap mid afternoon , or put themselves to bed before lights out, other nights they are still up (because they are interested in what's on TV or what's going on in (with the humans) or want snuggles before going to bed.
