The water also helps keep the greens moist and fresh longer. My vet suggested spraying the greens with water for two reasons, first it helps supply the dragons with extra water and second, the supplement dust sticks to the wet greens better. I leave the greens in until lights out at night. The seventh morning, I dust the wet greens and veggies with Rep-Cal Herpivite Multivitamins.

Six mornings I give each dragon a mix of greens and veggies, sprayed with water and dusted with Rep-Cal Calcium with D-3 (Phosphorous Free). Offer greens to your dragon every morning. Sprinkled on salad after misting salad with water. Rep-Cal Herptivite multivitamin given 1 day per week.

Rep-Cal Calcium with vitamin D3, given 6 days a week.

Up to 10 Phoenix worms and 1 or 2 hornworms are suggested. They are great diet supplements for dragons and can be used daily in addition to their protein staples crickets, roaches or superworms.

Phoenix worms (for dragons under 12”) and hornworms (for dragons over 12”) are soft and full of protein and calcium.

The reason for limiting the number they can have per day is the higher fat content.

Superworms: I suggest starting dragons at 12″ long with 5 for the first day, then if there are no issues you can raise the number by 1 a day until you reach the limit of 10 per day.

Never feed crickets or roaches that are longer than the space between your dragon’s eyes.

Crickets and roaches: These can be fed all they can eat in 15 minute periods twice a day, depending on age.

But they still get greens and veggies every day.

Two years and older should be offered protein every other day.

Six months to two years, all the protein they can eat in 15 minutes, once a day.Hatchlings until 6 months of age, all the protein they can eat in 15 minutes, twice a day.Chop everything so it is no bigger than the dragons head. Dragons of all ages must have fresh greens and vegetables every day.I suggest you read what is good and mix items until you find what works for you. My dragons are active, alert and very friendly. Is the way I feed the only good way, I doubt it, but it works for me. However after visiting and meeting my “children” they reconsidered and began a mix of richer feeders for their dragons. Some friends thought I fed a diet that was too rich, as what I feed would not be available to the dragons in their natural habitat. I’m sharing the information I have gained and the ways I have found best for my dragons.
