So for the past several months I have owned baby tyson I have had a lot to worry about. His state if health, diet, viv setup. He/she because I was told he was male, but I see know lumps on the underside of tail lol, has had a change of diet.
I currently feed my sub adult dragon , these convienient little moisturized pieces called dragon bites. I get them from petco, along with a flukers medley treat with meal worms, crickets , and grasshoppers. This is my only dragon ever owned. So I don't know if this diet is proper. He/she looks healthy, active, happy , normal poop + green from the bites. Every once in a while I give my dragon super worms and live crickets as a treat.
According to the bites and medley containers my dragon seems to be getting the proper diet. I know a lot of people have problems getting dragons to eat bites. But if they do ( like mine ) is this not the most ideal diet. My dragon appears to be a healthy looking weight, looking at tyson, tyson looks perfectly healthy.
Am I mal nurishing my dragon in any way by not feeding live crickets and greens every day? He never touches the greens, even if I mix dragon bites in um he picks out the bites lol , he even goes for the bites before the insect medley lol. He never really seems thirsty, everyonce in a while he will drink from the mist bottle, but I think he gets enough water from the bites, I also spray them down with a little extra water.
Just wondering if my diet seems good, no real problems with my lil dragon.
