Hello,
I fell into fostering a dragon. she is 1-2 years old and missing half her tail. she has an attitude but I've really enjoyed having her here.
However when I got her I told the lady i didn't know ANYTHING about them, and I didn't have ANYTHING for her. However, she told me that feeding Gerty was easy, a handful of greens in the morning and meal worms every other day was enough. she would toss in 3 dozen crickets everyone once in awhile.
I have since learned that is not a proper diet, spinach is a bad idea and gerty needs calcium and I guess multivitamin powder. that many crickets is a bad idea and worms area daily thing. I was given a ceramic heat light as well as a blue bulb that was supposed to be the UV. but I guess it isn't UV, so I ordered a new one.
Anyways, I'm hoping not to screw this up and I know I should have said no but she is here with me now and any advice would be appreciated.
