Man, I heard chicken mash was the best gutload!! Ugh, too much info out there that you cant quite be sure about.
About the original poster and Sand-Fire, baby dragons seem to be pretty sensitive to lots of things (this is just goin by MY experience with the babies I had this spring-summer) The two main things that cause twitching/seizures are calcium/D3 deficency (not enough) and eating things that are too big, or too much. Bulky food puts pressure on the spinal chord and can cause major problems!! Of course Neurological problems are an issue too, but not nearly as common as the first two I mentioned. Dont rule it out though.
Improper lighting, heating and food can also cause major problems with babies, remember these are babies. Improper husbandry suddenly given to an otherwise healthy adult is one thing, but babies are just running on first the Yolk in their egg and then by what their caretakers are giving them so they do not have the reserves yet.
Sorry your babies are doing poorly, and sorry about the one that died. Double and triple check husbandry, and remember, sometimes they just aren't meant to make it no matter what you do.
