I think that misting the salad so it looks like dew on leaves is helping my 10 wk. old Rufus eat his salads! It has taken a couple of weeks for me to put 2 & 2 together but am finally realizing it isn't a coincidence. After I mist his salad he goes and eats quite a bit of it. Even on the cool side of the enclosure, it dries out pretty quickly and, to me at least, becomes quite unappetizing. I was also recalling several posters saying their beardie was attracted to shiny things and the misting makes the greens shiny. Has anyone else experienced this? Note: I do put fresh water in the misting bottle every day and make sure to pump lots of fresh water through the uptake tube. Also sanitize everything weekly.
Humidity hovers around 15% and I mist the salad outside the enclosure so believe what evaporates off the greens not much of an issue.
Every little trick helps
I read the following. "Six mornings I give each dragon a mix of greens, sprayed with water and dusted with Repti-Cal with D-3. The seventh morning I dust the wet greens with Herpivite Multi Vitamins."
For a baby, they should get calcium 5 days a week and vitamins twice a week. Whether you put it on the salad or dust the feeders with it, it doesn't matter.
