Dragon Diary - 25/03/2010

Lizzy Puff

Food: 5:00 pm - none seen
Toilet: probably
Behaviour:
Not very interested in food when offered.  Really enjoyed the water spray that I did today.  From the reading I have been doing, young dragons drink droplets of water off plants (dew etc).  To simulate this, you can use a trigger action spray bottle to spray them and their surrounds with water.  I have done this for the last few days.  Lizzy will sit and lick the water off her face.  I have even seen her lick water off a nearby leaf.  I also put Lizzy in the water bowl and she drank a bit from there.

I am a bit concerned that Lizzy is too thin.  When we got home from dinner tonight though, her belly looked a bit fuller, so she may have grabbed a quiet cricked while we were out.

Booster

Food: 5:00 pm - 1 cricket witnessed
Toilet: probably
Behaviour:
Booster is still very nervous about being handled, so I am minimising it where possible.  He too was not fussed with food tonight, but, I did seem him take a crack and eat one cricket at least.  I am thinking of ringing the reptile store tomorrow and asking if there are some slower moving critters that these guys might eat.  Maybe mealworms are suitable.  At least then I wouldn't have little creatures other than the dragons roaming the enclosure!
