Yeah, that is about how many our 5 month old boy (velcro) eats. Somedays more, somedays less....he likes superworms and chicken and gravy babyfood too.

At what age? At 3 months or so, ours only ate 12-14 a day.
At 5-6 months, 30 to 50 a day, depending on their mood.

The oldest one, at 9-10 months will eat maybe 20 to 30 a day. She is now the shortest, at 15 inches, but still the heaviest of the 3, at 286 grams. We expect the other 2 will pass her weight within the next few weeks.

All eat greens, veggies and a few pellets along with their daily crickets.

mine is about 3 months old and 11" long now, and eats about 60-70 1/2" crix a day. for a few days in a row he packed away close to 100. i'll probably be going up to 3/4" crix next time i buy them.

depends on the dragon, usually for babies i feed 3 times a day as much as they will eat in 10 minuites. my 4 month old i feed 2 times a day as much as he will eat in in 10 mins and he usually downs 30-50 each sitting about 60-100 crickets a day depending on the day. my adults get fed daily but a controlled amount.

when would you consider a dragon an adult? mines only about 3 months and pushing 11" now. is that still considered a baby or a juvi?

reiko Oct 17, 2003 07:51 PM

i would consider him a juvi, pushing 6 months a sub adult and over a year an adult although they still may be growing (not to mean breeding age) this is just the way i see it, others may have a different way
