[QUOTE="JakeJHB, post: 818499, member: 23587"] Hi, I must say this was a big problem for me too! It took ages to translate the beautifuldragons page into something a south african could use! So far I have worked out a relatively ok diet, and it grows in my garden so it doesn't cost anything! Most of these things are available at the nearest grocer, but I have managed to grow all of them in my garden (except the Chicory and Endive- rebel farmers are cheap enough!) [b]Staples:[/b] Nasturtiums (grow like crazy in our climate! and have really pretty edible flowers - great for your salads too!) Rocket (an appropriate name for their growth) Lusern (hard to find the seeds in small quantities, but so worth it) Baby marrows - chopped into small pieces Radish leaves (cut from home grown radishes) Rosemary (fantasic food - buy annoying to break off all the leaves) Green beans Butternut Wheat grass Endive (useful in the winter) Chicory (useful in the winter) Lemon Grass (it needs to be broken in very tiny pieces, but it is a fantastic fibre supplement. You should wear gloves when you handle it though- the tiny fibres can irritate your hands if you spend 10mins breaking it into tiny pieces) [b]Occasional Supplements/treats[/b] Mint Sweet Basil Clovers Fennel tips Peppermint Oregano Sage Asparagus tips Thyme (smells great, but not much food to it!) Watercress (only if dehydrated) Parsley (only if dehydrated) The other important fact is if your Dragons do not really enjoy the processed pellets, you can feed your crickets/roaches with the same pellets making them much more nutritious! Roaches seem to be the easiest and cheapest for me- I have a colony going of about 5000! I keep a mixture of lobsters and dubias! When I started, My one dragon was costing me about R220 per week! Now I am completely self sufficient! [/QUOTE]
