Dragon no longer interested in live food

[cupidstoejam]

Flash loved his live critters for meals before all the lock downs occurred. During the lock downs, the pet store often ran out of supplies so we were forced to buy the freeze-dried critters. Now our dragon doesnt want to eat any live critters at all, just the freeze-dried food. Should I be worried?

Freeze dried is terrible --- most people on here order on line -- I would try and get him back over to live food but go to dubias - silk worms- BSFL is he a baby? -- horn worms -- butter worms-- is he eating salads? If you need help w/ websites for the worms etc please ask and I will post some for you

Flash is about a year old and loves his salads. How would live critters from a website get Flash eating again vs critters from the store?

What were you buying from the petstore for live insects? Petstores are or can be expensive-

Live loaded crickets

Ok so has he ever had any worms? Like super horn silk or butter worms? These are all good worms that can be added to his diet --- and salads --- freeze dried stuff will dehydrate them --- if you would like websites I would gladly post them for you -- dubia roaches are a way better staple feeder than crickets anyway -- less trouble keeping them -- better nutrition

http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder
https://symtonbsf.com/ good staple feeder order large they are small and do not dust them-- these are mainly for babies -- a good lure to the salad bowl --
http://www.mulberryfarms.com/ good for silk worms and other worms a little spendy on shipping tho
http://www.https:reptilianarts.com nice silk worm and roaches and super worms -- if your order silk and order in bulk like 50 make sure you get food they come small and you will need to feed them daily and clean their containers out -- the silk worms are another good staple feeder
http://www.coastalsilkworms.com nice silk worms
http://www.joshsfrogs.com I have never ordered from them but others on here have
http://www.dubiaroaches.com my go to place for most of my worms and roaches when I ordered today they were out of butterworms -- you can check other sites tho
You will need to shop around see what you find --- I forgot to mention if you order horn worms they are a hydrating worm they grow fast order small.amounts - most dragons lovevthem
Happy Shopping
