worry,worry,worry

the little one barely ate anything today...he did drink a little...I put some paper up on his tank...I allready had some of it covered but he took to sitting at the very top of the branch but with his front feet on the side of the tank...his belly wasn't really on the branch, I thought if I put up the paper he lay more...it worked for a few hours but he's back at it...checked temps with temp gun, highest spot is 110...I also sectioned off tank to make it somewhat smaller...for two days he ate fine...when I moved my older dragon into his larger tank he was fine the first two days and then the third day stopped eating and began acting stressed...is delayed stress normal in these guys or do I just have unusual ones...at least I'm hoping it's just stress with the little guy and that it will pass soon...

I wouldn't worry too much..they can have days like that. He's still just trying to get used to his new space, I'm sure he'll be eating again in no time. Did he eat anything today?

just four crickets...he doesn't seem to fall for the long, slender kinda looks like worm veggie trick anymore...I put some crix in a small critter keeper, place him in and add crix as he eats them...yesterday he actually ran off the log and at the keeper before I even had it completely placed...

They're so smart...aren't they? At least he ate something today. Like I said...don't worry about it, just an off day I'm sure.

unbelievably smart...look how good they are at getting all of us humans spoiling them...and they say we are the higher intelligent beings...lol

lol I know mine are completely spoiled and I firmly believe that a lot of the time, we are not the higher species. BTW, do you have any pics of your older dragon?

I believe this is another...he's just over five months and 17 1/2" nose to tail tip...hope he gets very big, the reason I chose a german giant cross...he's a redflame/sandfire x orange german giant from Dachiu...

He's lovely. Very handsome! I love his face. All dragons are beautiful...but some just have cuter faces, you know? Dachiu has some awesome dragons. I had the pleasure of seeing some of their dragons a couple of years ago at a show in Philly. Well, I'm beat too...gonna watch some tube, then sack out. Good night!
