Alright so my newer baby beardie has kind of a bad habit of eating anything she finds on the floor, from dried up leaves, pieces of paper, and sometimes even dead bees (yuck). She's about 7 months old (guessing), didn't have too much food before I got her, and she's gotten a bit better since I got her but this still concerns me.
Whenever I'm not looking, she has a small (or really big) habit of jumping into my potted plants and nomming on them like there's no tomorrow. Thing is, she doesn't just eat them, she doesn't chew very much or even at all sometimes and even swallows all the pieces whole sometimes. In most cases I've either gone inside or I'm just turned around and I can't really stop her. When I see her doing this I get her off the plant as quickly as possible. She stopped doing this for a few weeks so I thought it was over, but she started doing it again roughly a week now and so I'm quite a bit concerned. She always has enough food and she's being fed whenever she needs to, basically. I honestly don't understand why she does it! There haven't been any bad effects on her and she runs around and basks in the sun like normal, just this entire thing about eating EVERYTHING is a bit... much.
Anyways I really don't know what kind of plants they are (I kind of get random ones handed to me) so I don't know whether or not they are harmful to her or not... But here's some photos:
She's eaten roughly half of this poor thing, the plant was actually turned around away from me and this was the side I didn't see from where I usually sit, but this was her regular plant, as one might be able to tell.
This little guy was also well-hidden among the other plants.
This was an old one she was eating and she hasn't touched it in a long time.
So are any of these terribly bad for her...? Really hoping not.
