Crack ate my garden!!!

Yessiree folks, I planted my garden based on what Crack can eat and since it was so nice & sunny out today I was finally able to take him to explore his special garden... So far it's pretty pathetically flooded with pansies as I haven't gotten in the rest of the plants I ordered yet, but still, it's pretty and guess who likes it?!

He sat at the edge of the garden for a good 10 mins or so just listening to all the sounds (cars driving by, sirens, bicycles, birds galore, etc.) and once he was convinced it was safe to take a step, he stretched out and licked the petal of one of the pansies. Then took that first step and gobbled up the entire flower head in a few bites. He ate a couple leaves off the stem and after a good 10 more minutes moved through the flowers, stopping every couple steps to check the sky (as I kept blocking his sun moving with him, hovering over him in case he should bolt), and he nibbled on a couple other flowers, tasted about four other colours, lol...

This is his first intake of greens in weeks, he's been living on superworms, silkworms, hornworms and butterworms. Won't touch the crickets and any greens I put in his dish.

He did like the one large rock that's under the edge of my husband's Magnolia tree, as he could hide under the little branches and survey the flowers from his perch. I didn't get pics as I was alone and didn't want to risk taking my full attention away from him but will post some in the next couple of days if my husband is home to help take the pics.

His colours stayed fairly dark the entire time I had him out there, but once I scooped him & put him up on my chest/shoulder to carry him inside, by the time we got to his tank he was his lovely bright yellow again. I think he actually had a good time!

Hi
That is too funny. You mentioned he won't touch crickets. Is he older? I ask because for some reason, the last two days, my 3 month old has decided not to eat any crickets. He was doing fine and would eat 30 in one sitting and now when I put him in his feeding box, he rushes to them eats 2 or 3 and then wants out. If I give him a wax worm (which is all I have right now, he will eat it no problem and he has been eating vegies). Should I be worried or is this normal? I have some phoenix worms and butter worms on the way so at least he has some protein. He is pooping normally and his temps are all good.

What do you think?

I didn't realize pansies were okay for them. For mother's day I got cilantro and nastritum or something like that just so I could raise fresh plants for the boys.

Awesome, I never looked at the bottom of the list. I'm going to be expanding my herb garden because I hate going to the grocery store and keeping stuff in the fridge.

Crack (who was named before we got him) was about 18mos old back in March when he came to be ours. We were told he was a picky eater but did love his crickets. We changed his tank around within the first few weeks and he refused greens/veggies/fruits altogether. Crickets were offered but spent more time perched on his head than being eaten... He has not been worried about them other than to black beard at me when I give them to him & sit there with his eyes closed. I've tried different times of the day, in his tank & in a rubbermaid feeding bin, nothing, he's very uninterested in them at all.

He's also in the teenagerish stage isn't he? That would explain a lot of his 'tude... lol :mrgreen:

I will get pics on his next trip to the garden for sure! He looked so proud sitting up on the rock surveying his lands, haha!!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
