I've been a little dissappointed that Drayko never eats greens. He'll occassionally eat a part of leaf from my fingers and thats it. Hes a hunter.

I always leave fresh greens in his tank every morning but i always come back to see them still there. Even left them in a water bowl to keep them from getting dried out. didn't matter.

Tried mixing the silkies in with the greens, didn't matter. He would pick through the greens.

Two days ago i come home to the tank with absolutely no greens in it. WHAT?! Wait a second.... who took them? So i came back yesterday and again, no greens what so ever. He has obviously been eating them. Isn't it strange that just out of no where he starts eating all his greens?

Does this mean hes still really hungary after his silkies or something? Hes been eating MASSIVE amounts of silkies. He went through a 200ct of juvenile silkies this week and that was only eating them in the morning with crix at night. I'd like to try larger silkies but don't want them to large. Ok enough rambling.

Well, congrats. Don't worry. He may have accidently got a bite when aiming @ a silk worm and missed. Well, it only takes a bite to see if they like it. Oh and try T-Rex Cricket Maker for all you people who cannot get your beardie to eat veddies or something. Drop some of it on them and your beardie will be attracted to it. Goodbye!
