growth question...

iluvblackfrancis May 24, 2003 09:13 PM

i have two dragons, who were about the same size when i got them. the barely larger one, is now MUCH bigger then the other, and it seems like the other hasnt grown nearly at all. its healthy and eats as much as the other, but just isnt growing.

One usually will become the dominant in the cage and get more food than the other. Try to keep you eye on them at dinner time.

That's good. Have you had a fecal sample tested for parasites. They can cause growth problems, and much more. If not I would get one, and make sure you don't cross contaminate. Use cage funiture in both tanks, or let them bathe in the same water. They are cheap around 15-20 bucks depending on the vet.
