My dragon hadnt had a poo for about 4 days so i left him in a bath for a while untill he had a massive one, the next morning he then sicked up his locusts which were only half digested. He was also drinking alot more than normal out of the bath and he hasnt moved much for a few days. He also hasnt really touched the salad that iv put in for him.
Could this be down to the locusts being too big for him beacuse i gove him X.large and i normally give him large? I dont know what else it could be?

Dragon Not Well
Sorry for the delay in the reply.
Try and give him one rest day - this means not feeding him for a day.
This is to try and give his digestive system a chance to build up the bacteria that helps to break down their food.
He should be able to manage x-large locusts, as he is an adult.
It also may be because he was a bit skinny when he arrived, and and that could mean he usually doesn't know when the next feed is coming, so he will just keep on eating. Because of this, the rest day will be a good idea.
If you have any more problems give me a do not hesitate to contact me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Red Dragon

Re: Sick dragons.
I would just remember the rule, not to feed anything bigger than the space between their eyes.

Re: Sick dragons.
Generally that's a good idea, or at least nothing bigger than your dragon's head
