Rankins dragons are omnivores (meat and veg eaters) that thrive on insects and vegetables. They will accept many different kinds of foods, so it’s important to mix things up and keep a good balance. In today’s blog we will be taking a good look at what to feed your pet rankins dragon.
Rankins dragons need a variety of food to stay healthy. This means that you should not feed them the same thing every day. You should also keep in mind that you shouldn’t give your dragon too much of one kind of food, or they might get sick. Here are some examples of what your dragon may like:
Insects: crickets, mealworms, wax worms and cockroaches. These are great as treats for your dragon and will keep him occupied when he is not eating his vegetables. They are also a good source of protein, which is essential for growth and reproduction. It’s best if you avoid feeding him insects that have been fed on meat products as this will make him ill!
Vegetables: these are a great way to feed your dragon. They’re good for him and they will encourage him to eat his insects. Some of the best vegetables to feed your Rankins dragon are:
- Celery
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Cucumber
You can offer these vegetables in a variety of ways. You can chop them up and mix them with his insects, you can shred them and feed them to him on the end of a toothpick or you can use a vegetable feeder.
Your rankins dragon will accept many types of food such as fruit and meat, but it is better to avoid these. They are not an essential part of your rankins dragon’s diet and actually may cause him to have a stomach upset.
