Hi all, so my almost 2 yr old dragon eats a TON every day but I can't decide how much to give her and if I'm giving her too much or two little. To give you an idea:
She'll get 20 or so dubia roaches (small to medium size) in the morning followed by a couple tablespoons of cooked and cut up veggie. Her favorites are collards, sweet potato, watercress, and butternut squash. Then in the evening she'll have another 20 or so dubias and another couple tablespoons of a veggie. I feel like she could keep eating if I put more in front of her. I don't want her to pop!! Does that sound about right? Or too little/too much? She has been pooping normally now that she's out of brumation. I would appreciate any advice! Thnx :)

That's great, I wish my 2 year old would eat that much! Has she always eaten like this or did she just start?

If she's just coming out of brunation she may be replenishing her calories. I'd far rather see A hearty appetite then no appetite. Don't worry if she starts tapering off after a while. Let her get some exercise move all that good protein through. I love a happy healthy Dragon

Okay so I shouldn't be concerned :) she just went from sleeping forever, never pooping, hardly eating, to running around like a mad woman, eating more than her body size and pooping every 3-4 days!
