¡Huevos Dragónes!

[Jamiedog]

Today, it has been one month since Wave came to live with us.

It seemed like a good day to make her a special treat for breakfast.

She loves eggs, but has only had them once before. So I thought - why not make her a layer cake, with egg as the base? I made an egg, cut two large slices out, and layered the middle with peppers (another of her favorites), dandelion greens, strawberry, and blueberry (I know, tasty, right?):

I chopped up half of it (the whole thing seemed like waaaaay too much for one 3-month-old dragon!), and added a few micro supers and some calcium powder:

And the results?

"What's this?"

"It's... moving...?"

"It... might be edible...?"

"GO GO GO!"

Pure dragon satisfaction. I think she liked it!

(She didn't finish it, not surprisingly. I've left it in there for her to snack on for a little while longer.)

The best part? She had dark stress marks when she got up this morning (she's shedding, and irritable). By the end of eating, they were gone!

I have never heard of a beardie eating eggs? can they eat those? the reason I want to make sure is, I can try that for my beardie. Sounds yummy

They're listed here under the "feed rarely" category, so should be okay as a very occasional treat. Like I said - I've only fed it one time before, and that was just a few bites. It says hard-boiled there, but since I scrambled without any additions (no spray/butter/etc.), figured that was just as good.

Wow! I'm going to try that. Err, let my beardie try it. Hahaha cool

:lol:

I hope he enjoys it! And you know, if you wanted a bite, bet he wouldn't mind. :wink:

Ahh that looks delicious! lol.. Yes you can feed eggs sometimes.. People will feed them if they have a sick beardie or can't get them to eat b/c they are full of protein..

And apparently, are quite tasty! Or Wave seems to think they are, anyway. :wink: Good to know that it's a potential solution for food refusal, if she's ever sick (and here's hoping she's not...!) - I'll have to remember that!
