Go to www.heretherebedragonz.com they have a really good care sheet.

My little extra advice that I always give customers is to first keep up with the food, and second to diversify. You would be amazed how many people raise their animals on just crickets and lettuce. Its like if you were to only eat boiled chicken and jello.
Read up on all of the diffrent greens (and other veggies) that they can eat, and get them started young. Ive seen alot of dragons who turn their nose up at any salad, but if started as a baby there usually inst a problem getting them to plow through it.
Also, bugs arent limited to crickets and meal worms. With three dragons I think it would be a good, practical, idea to start a roach colony. MMMmmmMMM roaches. There are tons of reasons why roaches are better than crickets, but to name a few... Cost: you breed your own roaches, virtually free food. Size: it takes a hell of alot less roaches to fill up anadult dragon than it does with crickets. Health: They are just a compleatly healthier feeder for your animals; less shell and more good stuff. Sleeping: They never seem to eat the loud crickets roaches dont chirp all night. With all that said, if you go in the direction of roaches, I would advise to go for a larger species, such as the orange spots, or fales death heads. They dont climb glass and plastic and will be big enough as adult to satisfy large dragons. and in the mean time, you can feed the baby roaches to your juvis.
Silk Worms are another good feeder. Probably the best for your little dragons. The only down side to them is they are a little more expencive, but the benifits are definatly worth it. You can order them online from several compainies (check out the feeder section of the classifieds.)
Thats about it. Just remember to mix up their diet....
