Hello everyone, glad to be part of this knowledgeable group. Our family just got a gorgeous, super chill and very friendly dragon eight days ago. Over the last eight days I have been fine tuning his lighting, UVB, basking temp, cool side temp and night time temp ... you know pulling my hair out. To this point I have not seen him eat ANY BUGS, three crickets and half of a super worm are missing from his enclosure but there were no witnesses. lol He gets a fresh salad every morning and most days I will give him a second one after work but I haven't seen him eat his salad on his own. He's offered Kale, collard greens, spinach, butternut squash, carrot, bell pepper, etc. Our new Prince, aka STEVE... yeah, my son named him Steve. Go ahead and have a laugh, we think its hilarious. Steve will only eat salad that is hand fed to his royal lips! (read that sentence again with a British accent... trust me),
The fact that he is eating is great. The fact that he is only eating from our hands bothers me because he is not eating as much as he should for a Steve of his size.
What do you think? Should I worry and if not, when should I start?
