nope not dragging it on, think i have said my bit, and going any further would just be saying it all over again, to each their own. the original post that started it was just stating a change in one particular dragon that usually is on live feeders that was not fed them for a week, just thought it would be interesting. There is no way we can perfectly mimic what our dragons day to day activities would be in the wild, they after all live in 4x2 enclosures and in conditions far different, we can only do our best to provide the stimulus and cater to their instincts if we as keepers feel that it is important to our dragons, which i absolutly do... for each and every one of the animals in my care, four legs or two, scaley or feathered, doing what comes naturally is only... well.. natrual.



>>I have also yet to see an episode of the croc hunter where wild chickens are running around Agros pond for him to catch. They are frozen thawed, etc. They do the feeding shows etc. to educate the public and to create some exercise for the crocs. The crocs in the wild would be eating anything in their paths & I'm sure they are not getting exactly what they would be getting in the wild.

>>If some people are trying to find an easier way to care for their dragons and it's not posing any health threats, or better yet, is just as healthy as crickets,.
>>
>>Well, enough I guess, this is just one of those things where everyone is not going to agree, & like I said before, any you have,, to each his own. I don't knock anyone who prefers crickets.
>>
>>I will say this too,,, if not feeding crickets is proven to be unhealthy for them, then I would gladly start back.
