"Nutrients aside a dragon needs a certain amount of calories of each macro nutrient to grow and just do dragon things...lol. Lisa's dragons will each alot of veggies, so she should not have problems."



Hmmm lets see how I can respond to this one ...... LOL



Yep, my dragons devour veggies and pellets from day 3 after hatching. You yourself are having problems getting that new girl of yours to eat live worms lol



"simple for the reason that I don't think growing babies will eat enough of it(I know lisa will tell me otherwise...lol)"





Your right! I am going to tell you otherwise LOL....



My babies get veggies and pellets from day 3 after hatching and they do great. They don't get introduced to occassional "live food" until they are approx 2 - 3 weeks old. Occassional being approx 2 times per week... more of a treat than a routine food item.





I do want to make one thing CLEAR .... I do not use lettuce of any kind as a staple. My main staple veggies are Mustard greens, Endive and Escarole.



As to the T rex sups.... this will be my first breeding season that I have been using them. I DO intend to raise my first clutch as a "test". I have 28 eggs in the incubator now and 14 will be raised as I did last year and the other 14 will be raised using the T rex veggie growth formula. I want to see if I find any differences between the babies, such as growth rate, color, activity, etc. I will be making another page on my site and keeping records of growth for comparison. This way I can see at a glance and any other people interested can also research it.
