If anyone followed, yesterday little Dovah had an emergency vet visit to settle my nerves to him regurgitating his insect meal from the evening prior. If not, the summary of the day was he ate too much, and the vet said I should hold off on feeding him for a few days to give him a little rest from the experience. I've been sticking with that note, but gave him a salad to munch on. He apparently ate some salad last night because that's all that was in his most recent movement to was kind enough to leave me while so interested in the cricket bin I'm cleaning out (issue regarding that in another thread) ... long story short, I noticed it was interested in biting the rocks inside of his Viv. Gave him a small cricket, he ate it, retreated to his basking spot and stayed there for a long while (~40 minutes) then heard him biting the rocks again. He doesn't seem to be breaking off any rock pieces (I've been watching him), but don't want him to hurt himself.
Now it appears he is shedding his snout/upper jaw line as well, not sure if it is normal for them to bite during facial shed or not. I know when I purchased him, he has just finished his shed and was just rubbing his snout/jaw line on stuff, no biting. Aside from his exploratory bite through his faux rock basking support leg.
I'm also curious on if he is actually hungry for more than just a salad, and should I keep to the recommendations of the vet regardless of the behavior (if the behavior is caused by hunger)?
