salad

[crystal9534]

m'lynn seems to prefer eating salad more than crickets. is this ok? its collards and one of the other staple leaves. can't remember if its escarole or mustard greens. he'll eat a few crickets a day, nothing like his pig of a brother though. they're in separate tanks and can't see each other so no problems there. i'm saving my whole month's pay to take them both in to the vet, so it'll be another 2 weeks before they go in.


poor guy is stuck with a girl name. we recently discovered he's a boy and we're already used to the name m'lynn.

How old is M'lynn?

Maybe an idea; why don't you think of a boy name that sounds close to M'lynn? Like...... Marilyn. As in......................................................................Marilyn Manson. ;D

lol he's about 5 months. i'm only guessing, judging by size. they're 13". m'lynn is missing about half an inch of tail. he's 88 grams as of yesterday. he's alot smaller than his brother.

we have been thinking of names. i'll call him "my man" once in awhile. we thought of merlin, but my friend's cat, also named merlin, recently passed away. so out of respect i nixed that one

It's odd that a dragon that young is more interested in salad than bugs. They need their proteins that first year to grow. They slip more into salad than proteins after a year or so.

Can you try switching up your bugs and try some dubia roaches, phoenix worms, to name a few.

Well not about the salad, as I have no idea why he is doing this. All I can say is Pogie is almost 10 months and has started to convert to more salad and less crics. But shes older and I suppose this is normal as she is nearing adulthood.

As for names . . . .

M'Lynn - M'Lenn / lenny as Len and lenny are boys names ???

 

[Pogie]

OK I found this site . . . check it out for ideas for names. It gives their meanings too.
You can choose by color or language to get the name and meaning you want
Wish I found this one before I named Pogie

[Pogie]

That would be great. He was a legend . . . .

 

[crystal9534]

yes, he was my hero. you don't hear that much from people anymore.

also, are they allowed to have the stem pieces from the leaves of collards? i usually just tear the leaf from around the stem and put it in the food chopper.

Personally, I don't use the stems. I find them too hard for the dragons to eat. But I don't waste the stems; I just feed it to my bugs!
