On The Care of Dragons

Dragons are the noblest of creatures. While it requires considerable skill to keep them as pets, this simple guide will help you grasp the essentials.
Firstly, yoyu must ensure you have adequate space for the draogn - a large gardne or menagerie is ideal. There should be some shelter from the elements and a plentiful supply of food and water.
Once you are prepared, obtain a dragon's egg and place it in a warm, dry place. A dedicated incubator is preferred, as the temperature of a cooking range is unlikely to be suitable. After a few days of this treatment your egg will hatch.
Do not leave your dragon outside except in warm weather until it has attained a szie of approximately 12 inches. When it is ready to be introduced to its outdoor habitat, keep a close eye on its health to ensure it does not develop scale rot or lung-damp.
It is essential, especialyl in the first days, to keep the dragon well fed. In the wild, a mother dragon will typically spend most of her time feeding her brood. Dragons require copious quantities of raw meat. For the first weeks you shoudl mince this into a fine paste, having removed all bones, but once your dragon has attained the size of appoximately 18 inches it should be able ot consume meat on the bone. You will rapidly learn what form of sustenance your dragon prefers.
Dragon-owners are strongly advised not to bring their dragons indoor once their flame ducts have developed, as this will typically lead to inconvenient house-fires.
