Cute lil guy!!

Going to get freezy one of those jungle gyms in the next few days aswell!

Hows he doing with his crix? Freez seems to be picky, one day he is all over them then the next he doesnt wanna have anything to do with them!! Makes me worry!! lol

Scamp has never refused a cricket yet. They only last about 90seconds...I only give him about 10 at a time.

Oh Jonathan I am a picture fanatic...there will be more pictures for sure.
I just LOVE him.

Thats awesome that he eats so much!! Now I am worried again tho!! Our lil guy eats maybe 3 or 4. When he decides to eat them he will attack the first 2 or 3 real quick but then after that he is done! I try to offer him 5 or 6 at a time so as I dont freak him out or anything by puting a bunch in at one time! Any ideas on why he is not eating that much? Temps are right and i have him on a 13 hour light period. Kinda concerned! Ill have a accurate weight on him in a few days.

I don't think you need to worry...I think all dragons are different. Skippy ate like a bird...but he grew up to be fat like a pig...I think they all have their own requirements and eat accordingly. I did notice that when I fed Scamp crickets twice a day he did not go after them as fast. So I am going back to greens in the morning and crickets for dinner. I will still give him about a dozen and see what he does with them.
If Freeze is eating greens that might be the difference..Scamp is not eating greens that I can see...they dry up and he spreads them all over, but as for eating them ????

Yea he pretty much eats like a bird I guess is a good way to describe it. Once i get my digital scale in a few days and am able to keep track of his weights I will probablly feel a little better about his eating habbits!! He nibbles at his greens every now and then. Some days I can tell he has been in them and some days I can tell he hasnt touched them. I guess if I was more familure with beardies and everything it wouldnt be such a big deal to me. lol Our leos eat like a wart hog thats just been given a pass for all you can eat at a buffet, and then i watch this little guy and he freaks me out!! lol
And whats the deal with these guys showing no signs of life especially when sleeping!! Holy cow you cant even see them breathing!! I just want to stick my hand in there and wiggle him around till he opens his eyes or something!! lol I think Im going to put him on some kind of heart monitor or something at nights!! LOL
Thanks for all the advice!

Concerned beardie keeper,
