ZᴀRDᴏZ is a challenge--to say the least--when it comes to greens/vegetables.
He hasn't eaten in 6 days--trying to starve him off his superworm habit. Dubias & salad are present, but he ignores both.
So today, the weather was right; the yard is speckled with dandelion blossoms (too early for greens yet). I ventured out, and picked a variety of fresh yellow blossoms--large & small--and returned to try them out on his nibs.
I can categorically say there's nothing wrong with his feeding response. I wiggled a small blossom at him, held gingerly in my fingers. He spied it, followed it, and lunged--tongue leading. It went like this:
Chomp, chomp... strange look in his eye... Ptui! Spit the flower 4" across the top of his basking platform, leaving a trail of individual delicate dandelion petals. I've seen him spit things out before; it's usually like, "Bleah, that tastes awful," :bleick: and it drops from his mouth directly downward. This is the first time (that I can recall) he put some projection behind it.
I don't get him. Those dandelion flowers tasted just fine to me. :silent:
