A question to the pro's about babies

lucille Apr 17, 2004 05:16 AM

I am curious as to how y'all keep babies from eating each other's fingers and tails. Do you raise them separate? Or do they leave each other alone if there is lots of food?

First- feed very well
second- only a few to an enclousure(4 to 5 at most)
third- watch for any aggresive behavior and separate
forth-mumble a lot

well i am by no means a pro but this works for us. we feed the hatchlings very well. we keep 3-4 to a tank/tub. if we see signs of aggression we take the aggressive dragon out and the problems are usually taken care. we also feed crickets in seperate tub(depending on size 2 or 3 at a time) so there is enough room for all to move about without eating each others tails/toes accidently. Good Luck.
