Does your dragon ‘cook’ their greens and berries?

[QUOTE="Spider8ait1994, post: 2043325, member: 101939"] Posting a question here out of curiosity. I have two rescue dragons and the younger one who’s estimated to be about 5 and a half years old now does this a lot. To begin with he wouldn’t eat greens at all but he now eats them fine (although he’s picky about what he likes) but I’ve noticed some interesting behaviour. I’ll supply him fresh greens and occasionally some blueberries and he eats usually half of it fresh but leaves the rest of it to ‘cook’ under his light and heating setup. I’ve watched him and every day he check this food he’s left to ‘cook’ and if he decides they’re not how he wants them he leaves them another day but if they’re ‘done’ when he checks again he’ll eat them then and there. He always does it with blueberries and will do it most of the time with peas, corn and pieces of green bean specifically. It’s really like he’s worked out if he leaves these things for a few days they get crunchy (in the case of the peas, corn and beans) or change taste (in the case of berries). I’ve also seen him do it with other food items like he’s testing to see what ‘cooks well’ and what’s better eaten fresh. From watching him it’s definitely consistent and intentional behaviour and I’m curious if anyone else has noticed their beardies doing this? [/QUOTE]
