Feeding

[Ophelia3178]

Is it just me? No one tells you how MUCH to feed your dragon. She is really small and i hope its not because i don't feed her well enough. She wont eat lots of greens but she could probably eat insects indefinitely. Because i was worried about that, i decided to see what happens if i feed her 100 phoenix worms. SHE ATE THEM ALL WITHIN 3 MINUTES. "Feed as much as your dragon can eat in 15 minutes." WHO HAS THE MONEY FOR 500 PHOENIX WORMS? Those are expensive?! Is that really how im supposed to be feeding her, i feel so bad now.
What do you guys do????
Oh yeah heres some pics of my once boy, always girl, Copernicus.

















Sorry for the dramatic pictures... Enjoy!

Hello,

How old is she?
You can feed a more economical feeder such as dubia roaches or crickets leaving the worms as a treat or once or twice a week since they are higher in cost.
For dragons 8 months & younger they do need 50+ feeders daily to help with growth along with greens & veggies too if they will eat them.
