In or out of viv

[changilass]

I like the idea of feeding in a seperate container, but as I just got my beardies yesterday they are still very skittish and if I take them out it stresses them and they don,t eat (Esme).

I fed them hoppers inside their vivs tonight and they went mad for them, my only worry is that they may not have gotten them all.

Horace is still looking for food, but really don't want to let crickets out in the viv and don't want to stress him by moving him to a seperate container..

Esme and Gytha would possibly eat more, but again don't want to stress them by trying.

I can't wait till they get used to me properly so that I can feed them in a seperate container without them stressing to much.

They have all been to their veg bowl, as evidenced by the fact that it has been spread about a bit, but to be honest I don't think they actually ate any. I definately saw Horace spit it out.

Any tips gratefully accepted.

When I first got Scarlett I tried feeding her in a seperate bin... She would eat maybe 5 if that and she was finished... So I thought she just didn't like crickets and bought some reptiworms which she loved.. But I started thinking.. I'm going to try to feed her in her viv and see what happens... She went nuts! Chasing them and having a blast.. She probably ate 25 of them.. So I guess it just depends on your beardie really..

Outside. Too impractical for us to feed inside.

I'm a big believer in getting your animals used to the lifestyle you provide from the beginning. they might protest at first, but they'll get over it.
