He is spoiled rotten. I hand feed him and he eats great I just recently went from carpet to newspaper. This is freaking me out. I am a clean freak but he eats it before I am able to get it. Help....

Hello He is eating his own poo? Is is because the feeders are climbing on it?

 

[cgoldiemill]

No I don't think so I feed hand feed him out of his habitat. I am so confused he has never done this before.

I have never heard of a dragon doing such a thing. Can you try to get him to go to the bathroom in the bath instead? Some of us on here have trained our dragons to go to the bathroom once a day in a tub of water. To encourage him to do so, just feed him a big meal, wait about an hour then give him a warm bath and massage his tummy. They have an easier time going in the tub so he may stop going in his tank. The only drawback is you should bathe him once a day for a few minutes so he can go to the bathroom.

This is honestly the only thing I could think of to do. That's just crazy!

I found out what was going on I had put newspaper on one side of his tank and it had pics of food. I honestly think he was trying to eat the food. lol He is not doing it anymore for I replaced with reptile carpet....
