[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2032122, member: 97951"] Ok please no meal worms as shes not interested them anyway - the wax worms are fatty so if shes not eating them either dont fret - its too bad shes not interested in the BSFL as they are a great staple for babies and a good lure to the salad bowl - please start dusting the crickets 5 x per week w/ calcium D3 only ONCE per feeding lightly coated on the insects - vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week ONCE per feeding lightly coated on the insects- she should be eating 20 - 25 crickets per feeding - so if she eats more that is great -10-15 time frame as many as she will eat -- PLease do not listen to the pet store people they dont know anything about taking care of dragons- its good you have come here you will get good advice about the care here - now for the most crucial thing in your tank the surface basking temps 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer - UVB NO coils --- long tube fixture we can post links for good ones --- placement will determine by the screen on the tank - this is the key to having a healthy dragon - shes going thru relocation stress so her eating is going to be off till she adjust to her tank and surroundings but this lighting I just went over is the key here - if this is off she will stop eating all together - dragons get most of their hydration from their salads - if shes not eating her salads please drop water on her nose or spray her head to see if she will lick you can also use a eye dropper to get her to drink I would do this a few times a week - bathing will stress her out - 115 is too hot please adjust the temp and get it w/ a digital probe thermometer please place where she sits for basking leave 10 min or so get the temp -- 65-75 for ambient temps at night -- your dragon is going to be mainly taken care of by you--- have your daughter assist but they are a complex animal and she is too young for care my her alone - if you want the links for the UVB please but this needs to be changed out if its the coil I am thinking of as soon as possible [/QUOTE]
