    I just got my baby dragon last Friday. Her name is Scarlett. She's about 8-9 inches. The place where I got her from got the dragons in the day before I got her, so I understand that she's been under a lot of stress. My concern is that she's not eating well. I've read that because of stress they won't eat as well and I'm just worried.
    I'm offering crickets and mealworms. I noticed she had about two meal worms since friday. And possibly... MAYBE.. one or two crickets.
    I'm just a concerned momma! How much do your dragons eat and what can I do to stimulate her eating. I tried dangling a mealworm with tweezers and she just kind of sat there.
    HELP!!

    leave her alone to eat and perhaps she will eat if not watched or disturbed sometimes when they are new they need quiet time

    Relocation stress, it happens. She'll come around most of them do!

    If you just give her time but make sure there is always food avaiable to her she will start to eat eventually - they wont starve themselves:)
