Annoying behavior

2doxies Jul 27, 2006 01:19 AM

Do I have the only bearded dragon that tosses his greens all over his cage? I'm not sure how he gets them a foot away from the dish...It's too much of a mess to be caused by simply walking through the dish. It doesn't appear that he is eating much of them. Any suggestion?

Cut smaller pieces and mix them well. If he is digging through the greens to find choice morsals he probably isn't eating as much as he should.

Okay, I did that this morning. Is it okay to not feed him crickets for a few days so that he is hungry and gets the idea that he needs to eat the greens? Thanks for the advice.

just a thought....what if you put the greens in a bowl instead of a dish. It might be a little more difficult to throw it around.
