hi everyone,
thanks for helping me out with my veg problem their still not havin it but i'm persistent!
Is it o.k to give them meal worm at this age (6 weeks ) to give them a bit of variety or are they bad for them as i've been told they can be at this age? one of them seems to chase the crickets then just leave them instead of eat them and the same one also sleeps a majority of the time is this normal? she's lively enough when she's awake and she seems healthy enough but she does go a day or two without eating!

i know its all questions from me but hey we've all got to start somewhere and here seems to be the best place to ask!

many thanks F.S Laughing

the odd mealworm is fine, what might be better is mini mealworms if you can track any down, these are great for baby dragons.

If they are being fusy, try and get some 1st instar Locust, you will find them a little slower and softer for the lizards to eat.

Also, some don't like small black crickets while others don't like browns, it's all about figuring out what yours like.
