This is a very interesting question, I never thought of this :shock: I feel like I've read somewhere that they smell/taste with their tongues, so maybe the smell of your yummy food will make her more hungry :lol:

From my understanding they have a good sense of smell, but I doubt kitchen cooking smells will negatively affect her.
I know many new care givers will provide a worn shirt as a bed so they can get accustomed to the human smell and help create a bond.
That being said, they investigate further with their tongue via the jacobson's organ

Hmm, I don't think the smell will affect her too much, but I wonder...do you use teflon (non-stick pans)? I know the fumes put out by it are deadly to birds, and actually bad for us humans too, but I wonder if it would affect our beardies. Maybe someone with more knowledge on this can add something.

Yeah, haha if she starts associating the smell with getting fed that could be an issue :lol: I would say just don't feed her after cooking because they very easily start to pick up on patterns! Either feed her before or wait until the smell dissipates.
