Hi guys,
My BD has bee with me for 1 month and today he just finished shedding. He is about 6 to 7 months . The thing I find interesting with him recently is that he is always hungry. I give him 3 meals every day. 10 crickets for breakfast. 5 crickets and some fresh vegetable leaf for lunch and 10 crickets for dinner. So in total he eats 25 crickets plus a lot of vegetable salad every day! He is only a juvenile dragon.
He poops 1 time per day and there is some liquid with it but no terribly bad smell. I think he is really healthy. He got calcium, vitamin 2 times per week in his food. But to me, the amount of food he eats every day seems a lot. If I don't feed his enough food, he will be really unhappy, doing all the glass dancing, running up and down his shelter to get my attention. Also when he is hungry, he doesn't like me to handle him. Once he gets feed, he is really calm and just lie in there with his two back legs stretched under the basking light. If I handle him at that time, he will be really cooperative.
I put him on my floor and he just goes all the way to where the crickets plastic carry box is and try to bite into the box to get his food..... He is also extremely interested in tasting things with color or pictures of vegetables on it. One of my shirts has a plant logo on it and when I was playing with him, he just bite the plant logo on it. He also likes to lick everything new to him, even my fingers, arms.....
Does my dragon eat too much? How many crickets do you guys feed your BD a day? My BD is a juvenile and maybe that's the reason he is so hungry for food?
Thanks.
