I just got 2 dragons yesterday. I put crickets in their cage and I would guess they ate a dozen or so small ones. They only ate them on the basking rock, and did not chase them down in the non basking rock part of the cage. They each ate about 6 pieces of collard greens too, but only if I hand fed them.
Before going to bed I took them out, emptied their cage of rock, paper towels etc. I chased down all the crickets in their cage, one by one. I looked carefully for any remaining crickets, but in the morning one cage had three small ones about 1/16th of an inch each. Is that a huge problem? Should I only feed the dragons crickets in a bin outside the cage? Emptying the aquarium of crickets was a major hassle. What should I do going forward?
