I just got a baby dragon , and iwas just wondering how regulary a baby dragon shuold eat. does it eat a lot or little?? how many times a day? Is it ok to have decorations in with it or will that be some stress on the baby BD

baby dragons should be fed 2-4 times a day, all they can eat in a 10 min period appropriate sized crickets. Fresh greens such as dandelion, collards and mustard greens can be left in the cage as well.

I highly recommend you research bearded dragon care as well. Reading back posts here is a good start, as well as doing a Google search on bearded dragon care, will give you plenty of care info (read several different care sheets...some are better than others but always good to know the slight variations). There are good bearded dragon care books on the market as well. 'The Bearded Dragon Manual' is a good one to start with.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

I just recently got a baby BD and got alot of help from this forum. One thing that i found worked for me was keeping the enclosure simple for babies. I originally had my tank set up with several drift wood pieces rocks and plants however the BD didnt seem very happy and wasnt eating much. I changed his enclosure over to a good sized basking rock and one cool branch for him to climb on. He was able to hunt his crix better and also just seemed to like it better.
