New to frillys, just got one.

Karu Jun 01, 2004 07:45 PM

I did all my research prior to getting my baby frilled dragon and all and I've been keeping herps for about 7 years, but I still have a few questions.

First, how likely is it to get a baby to eat greens? So far I got him eating about 3 or 4 Giant MealWorms (I know about them, I just grabbed the wrong cup of worms) a day. They are about the size of Superworms, which is what I'm going to get him tomorrow. How many supers should a baby eat a day? He's quite small, fits well in a 10G for now.

Also, I've had him for about 6 days now and he's only pooped once. Is this normal or do should he be going every day?

He's really calm and tame already. He hasn't frilled once (and I don't plan on making him frill) and he doesn't try to run from me. He's still really active in his cage and loves to play in his water dish.

Are there any other tips anyone can give me?

Depending on how young he is, you may want to watch the superworms and stick to smaller prey items.
They rarely eat greens.
I would have expected him to poop a little more, so you may want to give him a soak--they tend to poop in water so it is good to have a big water dish for them to soak in.
You can start hand feeding your guy to get him used to you. They take to it pretty well.
Have fun!
