Beardie seems to like being hand fed too much

[lixm]

I've always hand fed Frank insects so I know there's no leftovers running around in his tank that I didn't see. But recently he's not been eating too much out of his food bowl which we fill with squash, collard greens, and mustard greens daily. He'll eat some squash, but not much else. So when I feed him bugs, I'll hand feed him squash too, and he'll very readily take it from me - so why isn't he eating from his bowl? Have I spoiled him? :lol:

Yeah maybe =). They are opportunistic feeders so sometimes they just get used to hand feeding or a routine feeding schedule. You may be able to break this by randomizing his feeding schedule and staggering the feeding times to make him start to hunt out of hunger. That said, hand feeding isn't necessarily bad. Just be sure he gets enough food and doesn't start losing weight.
