Pogona Minor feeding question

[ewr]

We got a Pogona Minor (we don't know sub species, anyone know how to find out?) from M&S Reptilien in Germany. We got him at about 7 months age (he was then 29 grams and about 30 cm (most of it the tail)). We've been feeding him daily, but lately (last months) he only eats a few insects per day. He's now stable at around 57 grams (plus/minus a few grams). Should we feed every day? He also refuses any vegetables (he refuses anything that doesn't move). But from what I read the pogona minors mainly eat insects...

Is there someone with experience with pogona minors that can advice on feeding (how much, how often and what)?

Ok here is some info I got for you from someone who is familiar w/ them see if this info helps -- the guy is lives in Australia


Took a squiz .... as soon as saw the 2 pictures I knew they are JACKY DRAGONS.

They are a great mid sized dragon , and very social ( they form colonies ) .
If the keeper treats them the same as BlackPlains ( aka rankins or dwarf ) dragon they'll be very happy and will thrive .

I've not kept them, they are actually locally indigenous and very common here in my area, I get them in my garden sometimes . People I know who keep and breed them tell me they are pretty much "bullet-proof" and tame up nicely.

Thank! This makes a lot of sense, the article is spot on with how he is behaving.

Good I am not real familiar w/ Rankins but you can Google their feeding etc and that should give insight on the feeding - I am assuming they are alot like our normal dragons

Lawsons/Rankin Dragons

While these dragons are similar to the bearded dragons primarily discussed on this site, they do have distinct needs. This is where you can discuss and ask questions about them.
