New Discovery For Hand Feeding Dragons...

[QuincysBoo]

I been hand feeding my baby dragon for a few months now.. She had gotten sick because she was engulfed with the disease Cuccidia she has been treated for this through out the months and all.. It has been a long time... I been feeding her with a syringe of baby food and she liked it so so.. I went to Petco and purchased a can of small crickets and I looked at the ingredients then I went and looked at the ingredients in kitten food so I figured she would get more nutrients then she would the baby food, and it had the same ingredients so I purchased a couple of cans of the meat kitten food and a bigger feeder syringe so the crickets would pass through..
I went home crushed the crickets added them with the kitten food and added a little sweet potatoes of baby food. And started feeding her, and she responded more and ate more of it.. With the baby food she wasn't responded much and when she poo'd it looked like baby food. So I figure this would be better for her and her digestive system. Since she can get more vitamins, and solid foods like the crickets just don't let em over eat lol.. Like I said this had the same crude protein, crude ash etc than a cricket would have or bearded dragon food have and I truly believe it is way better than just baby food.. And I also believe they will have a faster recovery rate with this food.. Just thought I would share this with everyone else.. So you can try it also.. Like I said New Discovery.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
