And ran out or crickets...or almost out of crickets...( Please dont bash me, my daughter was at childrens hospital in atlanta having back surgury)...(and the local so called pet shop is NASTY..I would not fish with their crickets!!) Placed order sunday night...to arive Tuesday...

Just veggies is OK for just a few days? I am sure it is, just wanting to vent....

Yeah absolutely..........unless you have babies, then you could run into some nipped limbs. But, if its just one dragon he will be fine for a few days with just greens. How old is he?

I hope everything is ok and wish a speedy recovery for your daughter!

Thank you so much. She (who is my step daughter) had 2 metal rods installed/grafted into her spine to correct scolious, and is doing AMAZING well for being just 14 and undergiong that kind of major surgury. Here is the mind blower. Her step sister, my daughter, was diagnosed with the exact same thing in january. Her surgury is scheduled for the end of June....

Back to the dragons, Baby Lisa is about 10 monthe old, and Bo is about 5 months, housed seperatly. And they appear to be doing well. They, along with Grissom, my, "you cant feed me enough".... PIG of a frilled dragon are giveing me dirty looks morning, noon and night.

Awww, it happens. I don't like the dried foods too much, but would it be possible to get the freeze dried mealworms or a can of crickets to have on hand for times such as this? Just something to think about for the next surgery.

Best wishes for your family during the recovery phase.

Wow, that is strange huh?

The dragons will be fine, maybe mist them a bit extra, offer greens, and im sure they will devour those crix when you get them.

Thanks for your thoughts and wishes for our family.

Crickets arived, the dragons were very happy...LOL....

But the frilled, as he was eating, was looking up at me with a "ITS, ABOUT TIME, LOOSER" look on his face...It was cute.
