Nah I wouldn't do that for a young dragon. They often prefer bugs to salads because they need the protein to support growth spurts. It's pretty normal. Just make salads available for her so they are familiar when she reaches full size and transitions over to mainly vegetarian diet. You can feed the leftover salads to the bugs. I tend to reserve syringe feeding for dragons who are ill and don't do it often.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
