Hi All,
I'm afraid I'm a bit out of the loop here. I have a few dragons that live in my back yard and wander about sunning themselves on a big rock and occasionally chasing bugs. The small ones are very shy and run away whenever I go onto the balcony, but the big fella has no fear, and is perfectly happy to watch me from his rock. Today I tossed him a tiny piece of hot cross bun, which he promptly ate, then sat there looking at me for more. I have two questions:
Is it bad to befriend the dragon? This is a rented unit, so I am concerned that if I move out and the next crowd aren't dragon-friendly, they might abuse his trust. I don't feed him every day or anything. I tossed him a tiny bit of fruit about 3 months ago, and nothing since. Is it okay to give him occasional treats? He's wild and looks after himself, and I don't want him to become dependent on me (and the next occupiers) for food.
Second: If it is okay to feed him, are there rules about what I shouldn't feed them? I mean, is hot cross bun bad? There was no butter or anything on it, but I really don't know the first thing about these little guys and I'd hate to make him ill.
Thanks for your advice!
