Every time I see Arwen he's doing something strange either hangin from or branch like a nut, or balancing on his gut like a teeter-totter with his face in the food. Looks real healthy as always. Seems to be doing well for you. Always nice to have a nice healthy youngster That's great for the young ones to be into their greens like that. I just started really concentrating on getting my youngsters to eat their greens, and pellets, and they are taking to them real well. For Hatchlings I feed crix first then greens in the middle, and again crix at night. I want them to eat as many crix for the added protein and calcium and vitamins I dust with as babies. Between three juvi's I go through over two thousand crix a week. They are now what I consider juvi's, so a few things change. Time for fecal tests. I'm always nervous about this part. From babies to juvi's if they are eating and growing I hold off on the fecal tests until they have some extra weight. Just incase the meds take a toll on their appetite, and they lose a bit they have extra. My girl at four months is now 12 1/2 inches and 96 grams. I just started to feed her greens and pellets first and crix twice a day in the afternoon and evening. she and the others are taking to that well. This whole post of rambling is from me seeing a healthy lookin dragon. Sorry for the ramble, and life story, lol

I like reading your rambling. I'm glad your beardies are taking to greens and pellets so well. Arwen won't eat her pellets but I still give them to her in hopes that maybe she will get a mouthful while going for a cricket.

Arwen is such a goof ball sometimes and I love catching her in those funny positions. Glad you like them, too!

She came from Brandon at Dragons By Nature. She has been so healthy and hearty. I'm glad I bought my first dragon from him (Although she probably won't be my last- I've got tha feeva!)

She doubled in size the first month I had her(6" to 13" I don't know how much she weighs, though.
