Definitely set up the larger male in the bigger cage. I also think a larger rubbermaid tub would be better for the smaller one, or the 20L but no more than a month in there. If you feel it will take you more than a few weeks to a month to buy or build a bigger enclosure for your little dragon, go with getting a large tub. Not as idea but they are fairly easy to find and set up.



Food wise. The larger one I suggest a good mix salad everyday...about half a cup.. I would give superworms, silkworms, butterworms, hornworms and crickets. Mealworms are a poor insect choice and shouldn't be offered at all. Superworms are a better choice than mealworms. For the larger one, just offer a couple superworms (2-8) (or other worms as mentioned above, reducing number as the worms get bigger than standard supuerworm). Or better yet to encourage him to eat a healthy salad, just feed insects every other day, salads every day.



The smaller guy, I would feed a mix of salad and insects, heavier on the insects for the first couple weeks to get him eating and growing, but still have salad available all day.



For selecting a good mix of greens, use the nutritional guide found at:
