Have the eggs hatched? Are they being incubated?

A safe toy is one that they can't eat, fall off, or have fall on them. Large securely mounted driftwood pieces, reptile plants, etc...all suitable options.

thank you and there being incubated if you have som pictures of healthy looking eggs(2 weeks old) i can check mine to that would be great

You should read the entire breeding section... really.

Please read this: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=126455.

No offense but I am worried. If you are breeding you should know about dragons. Dragons don't really have toys, if you want to give them a treat it's all about food. If you really want whats best for them I would post pictures of your entire set up, and eggs, and then have experienced breeders critique it. Sometime its best just to be an owner, and not a breeder, because of the cost and time involved in being a proper breeder. However if this is a venture you're truly invested in there are plenty of people here with a wealth of information. Photobucket.com is a great place to host images, and I hope you heed my advice.

Judging from your style and choice of words, I presume you are quite young...?
Why did your brother "give" them to you?
Did he lose interest?
Do you think you are ready to really find out what is best for them, or do you just want to have a "cool pet to show off to your friends" ?
I was small once as well... I had a total of 5 turtles on different occasions during this time and guess what, I lost interest and they all died.
Just some questions to see where you are at, and to know if you are truly interested in taking responsibility for this?

 

[dedc369]

yes he lost interest and it is very obveouse that im a child but im sure i am doing whats best for them 1 bath a day ckrickets everyday vitamins and calcium and mainly lettice carrots cabbage ect and lots of love dont be worried im a good person with good intensions and by toys i mean like cool things for there cage like those hammocks

Punctuation is a wonderful tool that allows the reader to understand when the writer intended a pause, or break. Otherwise it comes across as a breathless run on sentence. Although you know where the pauses would be placed if you reread, we lack the omniscient ability. Also the Firefox browser has spellcheck, and really helps eliminate typo's.

Other than that, each baby can eat up to 20 pygmy crickets in a sitting, and you should be giving them each as many as they can eat in a 10-15 minute interval. Lettuce, especially iceberg, carrots and cabbage actually aren't good for them as a staple. Once again the aforementioned thread is really fantastic. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=126455. I also suggest making a post either in the breeding or feeder section about a proper diet for a hatchling, because the youngest dragon I've ever owned was almost 3 months by the time I got her, and the diet greatly differs by then.

If you put a hammock in please make sure that it isn't too close to the lighting, or too high where they could hurt themselves. A lot of people make them, along with the best hides and caves, and its rather simple. If you would like to purchase one, Zoo Med makes different sized models and is called the Repti Hammock. You could search amazon or your local pet stores.

Keep in mind there is no shame in getting overwhelmed, and if you decided to stop breeding and rehome one of the dragons you would be able to find a wonderful home through here.
