Feeding at about 14 months old

[pamelacoe]

I just want to know what age my dragon should be before I stop feeding her crickets every day, along with her greens. At 14 months, should she still be getting her crickets daily, 3 times a week or maybe even just once? Thanks.

After 1 year the dragon may start to slow down on their eating. It may occur later or possibly sooner, this is the transitioning period. By the end of the transition the new feeding regimen may be closer to 20% feeders and 80% greens. If your dragon is still eating strong every day, it may not be time yet.

I have barely made it to having 3 dragons all at or very near to 1 years old. This information is what I have been able to gather thus far. I would also like this question answered by a more experienced dragon slave then I.

*bump*

If she is eating greens along with the crickets, than that is fine. They will let you know when it's time. And as long as she isn't obese, you are ok. Mine both slowed down on feeders at 10 months old. They only want them 3x a week now. Even if I offer them, they won't eat them.

Lilly's always eaten live food daily except for periods of semi-brumation. At 14 months she was still growing.

So....the answer is that they are like little kids with scales, LOL. :lol:

Exactly, no two are the same and as soon as you think they have them figured out they will change on you! At that age I would still *offer* food daily, but if he/she doesn't take it, don't fret.
