Dragon Diary - 14-16/05/2010

Whoa, missed a few days in there.  Things are getting into a good routine, so it might come to an every other day type journal so as to avoid repetition.

This morning I dropped some bok choy and carrot in on the salad bar and both Beardies came over one after the other pretty much straight away.  I took the opportunity to grab a couple of photos, the best of which are in amongst the report for each Dragon.

I am going to weigh the Dragons today and include the results in an entry tomorrow.

Lolly


Food: 10+ crickets every day like clockwork, veggies
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: I had Lolly out on the low lying window sill again yesterday to give her some sun.  She did something that she has never done before.  She seized the moment and made a dash for freedom as it were.  She bolted straight onto the carpet and out of sight.  My view was obscured somewhat as I had been lying down next to her, so I couldn't see the last vector she took and had little to no idea where she was.  I figured that she would be under one of the couches somewhere so that's where we started.

My wife ably assisting me (from a distance) we found Lolly under the second chair we looked at.  As I lifted it up she went with it, grasping with the claws on her front feet.  She was very amiable when I picked her up.  I think she might have given herself a fright.  There was 80's pop music that JT had put on playing at the time.  I can only assume that Lolly isn't a fan :-).

As you can see from the photo, she was back to normal (not that she was freaked out or anything) today and into her tucker.


Booster


Food: 10+ crickets representing a pleasing trend, veggies
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Booster appears to be getting more comfortable with me being close to the Den.  When I put the veggies in the salad bar and was taking photos of Lolly, Booster came right up to the front of the Den looking like he was missing out on something!  He is also quite happy to sit at the front of the Den when I drop in crickets one by one to make sure he gets enough without them running and hiding.  Mind you, he is pretty good at chasing them down when he is of a mind.

As you can see from his photo from this morning, he was quite happy to make his trip to the salad bar too.  He's still quite a bit smaller than Lolly which might be a bit hard to tell from the photos, but seems to be tracking really well now so in time I hope that he will match her.
