Bearded Dragon Tries Eating Non-Foods

[ceesbeards]

Hi! I actually signed up to ask this question.. My bearded dragon, Fluffy, has what seems to be an obsession with attempting to eat household objects. A plastic bag, a pencil, a marker cap, a lock, a chapstick cap and a tag. Could this behavior be linked to something wrong, like not getting enough to eat (I've been trying to make sure they don't get obese, but my efforts may be doing harm to them without my knowing??) or is it just because Fluffy really, REALLY likes to eat?

He probs just has a very opportunistic approach to food. One of mine goes around licking potential food when outside the viv and shows more interest eating while free roaming than inside the viv. X box controller buttons are a favourite. He'll tongue-attack those with a fury.

Obviously, be careful that nothing he could swallow is available when he's exploring.

If they are housed together, he might not be getting enough to eat.
What and, how much are you feeding him?
How old is he?
