Yeah, I’m moreso doing it to try to save on feeding costs. If I can do it for free and have an unlimited supply I might as well.i've never tried to actively breed the roaches. we don't have the need, although if he was still eating in quantities for a baby or juvenile, that might be different, or if we had more than one dragon. when we are down to around 40 or so (about a month feeding wise), we'll buy another 200-300 small ones and let them grow up while we feed off the last of the big ones. so far it's worked out pretty good. we haven't ever got to the point they have been too big to feed him.
It's time for Baby Arugula and collared greens, mustard greens, turnip greens. Start with baby arugula.
that's probably 100% what is going on. they love to make us absolutely crazy thinking about all this stuff. i've had to use almost as much patience raising this dragon as i did raising my kid! they're both still alive so i must be doing something right!!!I’ve tried all sorts of greens even those not listed. He’s just not interested. Think he’s just a stubborn baby.
actually, kale has been studied further and it has been found to be a great staple green. so if you little guy loves it, go ahead and give it to him.I’m not sure if this was said yet, but try putting bee pollen on their salad, that’s what I had to do for my little guy, and he would devour it, and try different greens there a lot I didn’t know they could eat, but be careful, my little guy doesn’t eat salad as much as he used to because he LOVED kale so that’s all I gave him and I found out kale isn’t good to have all the time so he’s throwing a little tantrum at the moment,
This is the best news I have ever received!!!! My baby LOVES IT so so much and I’ve felt so bad not giving it to him it was breaking my heart, he’s picky the only other thing I’ve found he likes is endive and I can’t find that anywhere, he doesn’t even like dandelion or mustard greens, I’m definitely running out and buying him kale tomorrow!!!actually, kale has been studied further and it has been found to be a great staple green. so if you little guy loves it, go ahead and give it to him.
I know right I have a weird little guy, he wouldn’t even touch dandelions, I might have to try again this it’s been a good bit since I tried, but I did find that website thank you!no dandelions??? sir henry cannot conceive of such a thing!!!
do you have the website we suggest for veggies? if not, scroll up through this thread. i posted for the OP earlier.
i got it for ya karrieree.
here's the link. ignore what it says about kale, more studies have been done, and it is actually a great staple green. the website just has not been updated. Nutrition Content
That's a good idea - thanks!i'm not sure on those. sir henry refuses anything powdered, so we order liquid for both the calcium and vitamins from tracie, our mod on here that is a vet tech and has a website i use. i'm not sure what her shipping range is, but i'll post her website for you just in case, or to help others that may read this later.

as for the bugs eating, i would assume so. there are some mornings the salad they were given is gone! just depends on how much we wound up putting in. because we give them the salad every night, we just assume they are all gut loaded and don't stress on it too much.
and if ya think about it, no matter how much the bugs eat, they're still putting the left over veggies to more use overnight than the garbage can will, so why not!That's a good idea - thanks!
I'll just keep putting the scraps in each night then.
