My little Memster vs calcium powder!

So my baby beardie Mem is currently on Albon for Coccidia, so he's not had an appetite for anything at all other than of course, the infamous wax worm. Since I'm limiting these he hasn't had much calcium intake. Obviously he was missing it. A little got on his basking spot and he got to licking, he has never done this before. So I poured out some more and he tore into it like a, well a dragon on a cricket! Was the cutest thing I have ever seen, with powder all over his little nose. I made a short You Tube video of it in case anyone wants to see how much my little love, loves his calcium powder Oh and pay no mind to the ugly furniture in his viv, this is homemade temporary stuff while he's fighting Coccidia, I can throw it away and easily replace it should I not get him to water in time enough to catch a poo. :shock:

Hahaha yeah I was a little curious myself but I'm not brave enough to try it!

That is brilliant!!! Love his little technique of 'chewing' it and the way his arm goes ten to the dozen! so cute

He did it again today! It kills me that he thinks he has to BITE it and chew instead of just licking it up like most beardies. He's an unusual little guy. Came home today and he had managed to spread his salad and his shed all over the entire tank! Not a single piece of salad left on his plate. So I dunno if he got ticked or just had a really fun time today making a mess for me to clean up!
