Every morning I wake up, turn the lights on in my two baby Beardie's tank (being housed together temporarily), and let them warm up for a half hour as I do my other daily routines. I go back up to my room and feed my two pals their first daily meal of crickets, which they gobble up very enthusiastically! Then I take out their salad dish, and start picking up the pieces of my brother's Beardie's mess! My brother's Beardie is always making a mess in his tank by picking up the greens, shredding them into smaller bits, and tossing them EVERYWHERE. Is this normal behavior? They're both babies (YOUNG babies) and they're very friendly towards eachother. They came from the same tank and everything. My Beardie doesn't do it, but my brothers does. I spend a good deal of time cleaning out their dish, chopping up a nice fresh salad, cleaning off the veggies, etc. and it annoys me when my brother's beardie throws it everywhere, and the pieces dry up under the heatlamp and my Beardie is stuck with the dry-as-a-bone pieces of collard greens, mustard greens, and dandelion greens. Is this normal behavior? Is there any way to stop him from doing it/prevent it? Thanks guys! (If there's no way to solve this, It's no big deal. If he's just very messy with his salad it's fine, I don't mind as long as he's happy doing it and he's at LEAST eating some and sharing with my own Beardie. If it's a behavior issue, well then... I DO have a problem. Because no one's messing with my Beardies! Not even a disease or a bug or whatever!)
