11 WHAT SHOULD BABY DRAGONS EAT

CHAPTER 11 WHAT SHOULD BABY DRAGONS EAT? Marshmallow was sleeping when I got to the barn. I filled up his water dish and quietly set it near him. What foods would be healthy for a baby dragon? Mom had said that studying normal animals that might be related to the magical creatures had helped her before. Like when she had the winged fox that was sick. She'd read about foxes and birds to figure out what to do.

第11章小龙应该吃什么？ 我到谷仓的时候棉花糖正在睡觉。 我给他盛满了水，悄悄地放在他旁边。 什么食物对小龙来说是健康的？ 妈妈曾经说过，研究可能与这些神奇生物有关的正常动物对她有帮助。 就像她养了一只病了的飞狐。 她读了一些关于狐狸和鸟的书，想知道该怎么做。

I ran to the bookshelf. My eyes quickly scanned the books. Bingo! I grabbed Care and Feeding of Reptiles from the second shelf. The chapter on reptile diets had just what I needed. Your pet reptile is either a carnivore, an omnivore, or an herbivore and should be fed accordingly. If your reptile is a carnivore, offer a source of meat.

我跑向书架。我的眼睛迅速扫视了一下这些书。 宾果!我从第二个架子上拿了《照顾和喂养爬行动物》。 关于爬行动物饮食的那一章正是我所需要的。 你的宠物爬行动物要么是食肉动物，要么是杂食动物，要么是食草动物，应该根据它们的情况喂养。 如果你的爬行动物是食肉动物，提供一个肉的来源。 有些食肉爬行动物喜欢吃动物的肉，如老鼠或鱼。 其他食肉爬行动物喜欢较小的肉类来源，如蚯蚓或蟋蟀。 如果你的

reptile is an herbivore, offer a plant source, such as leafy greens or vegetables. If your reptile is an omnivore, it will eat some meat foods and some plant foods. There was no time to waste. I needed to figure out whether Marshmallow was a carnivore, an herbivore, or both — an omnivore! As I ran to the house for supplies, I pushed down my worries. I had to believe that this experiment would help. Hang on, baby dragon!

爬行动物是食草动物，提供植物来源，如绿叶蔬菜或蔬菜。 如果你的爬行动物是杂食动物，它会吃一些肉类食物和一些植物性食物。 没有时间可以浪费了。 我需要弄清楚棉花糖是食肉动物，食草动物，还是两者兼而有之——杂食动物！我一边跑回家拿补给品，一边把烦恼抛在脑后。 我必须相信这个实验会有帮助。 坚持住，小龙！
