Cute dragons and good setup
But are you feeding them pellets and cabage
Pellets at most are only a suplementary food for adult dragons not for babys. Most are high in fillers and junk food stuff like corn and soybean meal. I used to give my igs a few pellets of zoomed food but When I read the stuff they puted in there I no longer used them
In my humble opinion the only good herp pellets that are outhere are turtle pellets for aquatic and semiaquatic turts. They need fresh food and insects , not junk food.
Also you are using vegeteble mater that is very high in goitrogens , oxalates and phosporus (the apples, cabbage and carrots) If you keep using them whit so regularity you are riscking your beardys health by exposing them to cach metabolic bone diesase wich can have fatal consequences. I also see that you are feeding peaces of carrot that are to big for your animals to swallow and they can shoke on that.
Your beardys need for now a 70-60% diet of insects of apropriate size and by that I mean that the bug must be no bigger than the space bethween the beardy´s eyes(crickets is a good staple) and that must be healty and guttloaded. Also they need a 30-40% vegetebles ratio in there diet. They need calcium and so the best are dark leaf veggies like mustard greens, water cress , turnip greens, dandylions, etc. They also need to be finely chopped. They need to be feed every day and you must give the veggies first and then the buggs. Reserch more here: www.anapsid.org;)
