I dont think they are allowed in Canada. I remember looking for them when I had a leopard gecko. Considered an invasive species.
I will try disabling those crickets for his morning salad tomorrow. As well as offering them dusted at night.
His mother and I argue over trying to offer them off tongs or by hand. What do you think about that? She thinks me offering it will stress him out.
I also dropped a few water droplets on his head and he barely licked it so I guess he feels
hydrated, possibly from the worms? It does not look like he touched the kale that I put in with the butterworms. He just got the worms.
As to the food dish, should I always try and offer insects in that dish? I am guessing he will associate the dish with food and check it more often?
Beardies seem to have a bit more personality than my leopard gecko. The leopard gecko I can throw the crickets in and I know he will spend the night hunting them while I slept. Was never picky at all and adjusted to his home easier. Plus heating requirements mattered more than lighting.
I am enjoying Toothless's presence in my office while I work or do my hobbies. Just hoping he will bond with me and have a strong appetite soon.
