Why not use fuzzies instead? I think your dragon is big enough for them now. Normally I give mine 1 fuzzy a week, or some chicken once a week. Then crickets some days, veggies somedays, it depends.

I give mine 3-4 fuzzies each every week as there main diet. Ocasionally I'll feed insects, but rarely.

My dragon is 6-7" snout-vent (and about 16" snout-tail but he lost half his tail...) and I feed him 1-2 pinkies 2 times a week & also feed him jumbo crickets, waxworms & superworms. He is about a year old now & has been growing so fast off this diet. I just started him on pinkies & he eats them in about 4 bites.

i have 2 questions:

1) my CWD is 9 months old, abt 5.5 inches vent to snout. should i start trying to feed him pinkies?

2) he usually doesnt eat anything that doesnt move. do you feed live pinkies? i have prekilled/frozen/thawed pinkies. any luck feeding prekilled?

any help is appreciated.
