Over feeding

[suzy]

Can you over feed baby dragons? I have 2 new babies got them yesterday. So far they have eaten 12 crickets and about 3 oz of romaine lettuce. Pretty much whatever I put in the tank is gone when I check back.

Not really babys should be fed 2-3 times a day as much as they can eat in 15 min. Romane isnt a good staple green to feed. Collard mustard kale those types of greens are what should be fed. And if they are housed together make sure you are feeding enough or you can end up with missing limbs or tails. What size crix are you feeding?

He's a good link for what greens are good: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

Little ones grow fast so don't worry about over feeding.
