When my dragon won't eat there are a few things I have noticed that are the reasons why. Even if they don't seem interested in their cage, doesn't necesarily mean they won't eat at all. They just might not like the environment(for feeding). What I've noticed works for my dragon when she won't eat (she's VERY picky) is putting her in her water tray, almost a guarantee she'll eat for me then. Or, I will get a clean towel, put it on my lap then put her on my lap and then drop an earth worm on the towel about 1-2 inches away from her head.



She loves earth worms, and what I usually do to get them real wiggly is squirt them with some water (and/or sprinkle some calcium dust on them). From my experience they LOVE wiggly worms...lots of movement is key to catching their attention.



If worst comes to worst get some pedialyte/gatorade mixed with some baby food and force (gently) rub around their lips with the oral syringe until you get it underneath the lips and then squirt a bit in. This can be tedious, but its what saved my MHD.



I've had my dragon for about 2 years now and she is roughly ~3yrs old now, so my experience with hatchlings and younger dragons is minute.
