Dragon Diary - 07/04/2010

Booster

Food: None witnessed
Toilet: Don't think so
Behaviour: More of the same today from Booster.  He is not wanting to eat.  I tried him in the enclosure and in the tote tray today.  Neither way is he happy to eat.  I think he is going the way that Lizzy went.  This time, I think I will have to stick it out.  If he goes he goes.  We'll keep trying our best and see if we can get him going again.  He's starting to look a little thin now.  I imagine at this week's weigh in he will be down on weight if anything....

Lolly catching some rays
Lolly

Food: 9-11 crickets
Toilet: Couldn't find any
Behaviour: Lolly gutsed herself on crickets tonight.  I saw her take 8 in the tote tray and a massive one when I put her back in the enclosure.  Not sure how such a big cricket got in with the small ones that I bought.  I guess they are wiley little critters.  I think Lolly might have found another one after that, but, am not 100% sure.

I snapped this picture of her after dinner, perched half way up the branch catching some rays and having a bit of a kip.  Her belly looked nice and full as you would expect after such a healthy helping of food.  I am guessing that she will have put on some weight at this weeks weight in.  It sounds like we are running a reverse Biggest Loser!

I'm very happy with how Lolly is going.  JT had another hold of her tonight and she seems to be settling down a bit.  I think she is starting to recognise that the tote tray means dinner and is a lot more calm when I put her in now.  It's so nice and easy just to be able to put her in, chuck in some crickets and watch the action.  I'll see what I can do about taking some video and posting it up.
