Been a while since I last posted anything, but I have a major concern about my little (who is not so little anymore) Levi.
She is 5 month old, eats all her veggies as well as 60 - 100 crickets a day. She really eats a lot, and is slightly obese :shock: (according to the vet and other beardie owners) Her temps, viv etc. are fine, and I am keeping her on newspaper until I put in tile. She mostly eats leafy veggies like dandelion, hibiscus, mustard greens and watercress (she doesnt like anything that isn't green)...and that is the problem. My room is green, as well as alot of my clothes. She tries to eat EVERYTHING!
My clothes, scarves, towel, pillow, blanket...even the rings on my finger and my hair!! Is this normal behavior? I am scared to take her out of her viv, because she runs around trying to chew everything! This morning i had to pull her of the curtain coz she wouldn't let go, and in the process she bit my finger! (which has never happened before, because she doesnt really bite and is very tame)
I dust her cricks with calcium, mist her veggies, and give her baths every second day.
For a dragon that eats ALOT 3 times a day, I dont understand why she is doing this?
I would understand if she tried to lick everything (which is where it started)
Has anyone seen this behavior from their dragons, or any suggestions?
Thanx!
