That's what I was thinking. If you can continue to do that I think she might be better off. Work on dropping the huge numbers down in the evening. Once she starts to eat more in the afternoon she will slow down the evening feeding on her own. You will probaby see a difference in the "huge" belly!

I did not give her any salad today and put some crix in there around noon and she will not touch them again. I am with holding veggies in hope I can get her to eat some crix but 3.5 hours later I still can not get her interested in them.

Alright,
I wont make another thread but i will just simply add to this one.
Exercise is the key.
How to make an exercise yard for the well loved dragons.
First you will need a large plastic rubbermaid tub 3x2x2 (equivalent)
Now you will need to set up over hanging heat lights on the tub. Desk light will do just something of a light source for the dragon to heat up on.
Then you will need to put 5 inches of play sand (fine grain the finer the better) on the bottom.
Decorate with some climbing branches and presto an exercise yard for the dragon.
The fine sand will give way under the dragons feet. Anybody ever tried running on the beach? Bloody hard isn't it and a good work out. This will do the same for the spoilt dragons. It will give them a work out. If it stimulates their digging instincts even better. Try and get them to move around in the sand. Easiest way to do this is with a yummy silk worm.
Do not feed in the tub. What i mean is use a pair of tongs to hold the worm rather than just placing them on the sand. That will get your dragon moving around the tub. Try all different methods if you have to get them moving use whatever works.
Do this for about 45mins a day and in a week you will have a leaner stronger dragon.

I have an extra bin out in the shed. I will have to do this with her. Trying to change her eating schedule is not working. She is just being a brat about it and refusing to eat all together. She has not eaten on bit of food all day.
