So i recently adopted a dragon, age is unknown, but he is at least 4 years.
This is my first dragon, so it's a learning experience. His previous owner said he ate meal worms twice a week, and occasional horn worms but didn't state how many at a time.
doesn't a horn worm go against the whole "no bigger than the gap between his eyes" rule...???
so here is his current diet for the past 3 weeks since i've had him
daily dark greens (kale and collards) as much as he wants, usually eats my small female palm full daily.
I mix in a different veggie every day, so one day shredded carrot, another day bell pepper, another day cherry tomato. and then every couple days i add fruits melon and strawberry so far.
I mist his food with water because i have yet to see him actually drink (but fresh water is provided)
He is awesome at eating his daily salad.
twice a week i've been giving him meal worms, I know now that this should not be the staple protein, so i'm going to hunt around the next town over and see all my feeding options, I will probably try to change it up every time so he gets a good rounded protein diet.
But today we are stuck with meal worms, so he eats about 10 in a session, twice a week.i'd say they are med size if i switch to phoenix or crickets or whatever, do you think 10 is too much or to little? when I find something healthier should i keep it to twice a week or more often?
what do you guys think???
