hi i have had godzilla for about three weeks and i read that bearded dragons on like 15 articles that they grow 1 half inches he has only grown 3 fourths of an ich i have a tube uvb and a 100 watt rep zilla bulb i feed him 8 crickes a day and dandeelian greens :shock:
Why do you think its MBD? Godzilla should be eating way more then 8 crickets a day I have small eaters compared to what others on here eat! and they have finished off 400hundred Phoenix worms in less then a week! with greens. I would say 50 crickets a day whatever your little one can eat in 15 minutes I feed live bugs twice a day and they have veggies in their cage all day I change it 3 times a day to keep it fresh!
really 50 crickets one lady who breeds them said 9-10 crickets a day and godzilla is not interested in more than five each feeding i dont now who to believe
It is expensive to feed a baby dragon. My 6 month old can eat 200 phoenix worms a day. Crickets being a bit bigger, she can eat at least 30-50 of them.
Maybe he just isn't quite settled in yet. My youngest dragon took awhile to get used to things, including eating in front of us. I know it was over a month before she starting eating many bugs.
My older dragon had a slow start, then would grow quite a bit one month, and not as much the next. Hang in there.
Look in the "Feeders" section for information on breeding your own bugs. I haven't done it, so wouldn't be any help. Though the petstore I use is closing, so may need to breed my own too.
