Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

feeding mice?
I've been noticing a lot of people lately feeding their dragon mice pinkies... I was under the impression they are not good for them, and have calcium, but not the best source of calcium. Also, that they are only recommended very sparingly with gravid or post gravid females( fatten them).
I am just wondering why people want to feed them to their dragons

Just a FYI, it can and most likely will make your dragons mean. Not always, but most of the time.
Just something to keep in mind if you were thinking about doing this...

How so can it make them mean? I couldn't tell you scientifically but from personal experience it has seemed to make them blood hungry feeder attacking anything that goes into the cage, including hands and water dish's.

It's happened with more than one, but it definitely could be though
As to why, for me it is a cost and simplicity. Please understand I am NOT a beardie breeder. I have had couple for pets and have worked with many at a local pet store. (Which is actually where I first saw pinkies/hoppers fed to dragons) So instead of having 500-1000 crickets, and dealing with them or worms, I would feed lots of greens and a hopper every week or so. We also gave some Phoenix worms during the week but it didn't have to be a crazy amount. My cost to feed went from 20.00 wk or so to about 5.00
