Training your beardie.. Is it possible?

[cla6665]

Somebody told me that it's possible to train lizards to do little "tricks", or poo in one place all the time. I recently saw a video of an iguana doing the business in a container, she does it like that all the time. Did anybody try to train a birdie to do that or maybe listen to commands. I know my beardie responds to his name when called, it looks at me really deeply and turns his head left to right. Just wondering......

I noticed now that Vyllyn is getting a little older, he always gets really restless when he has to go poo and paces back & forth across the front of his enclosure. I started putting 1 paper towel just in front of his basking area, which he leaves to poo, and is goes on the paper towel. I usually clean it up almost immediately, so I don't know if he realizes that and has learned or if it's just habit. Regardless, I like it that way.

My beardie usually always goes to bath bath room in his food dish... :? I don't mind though, because then he doent go on the ground. He actually went in his bath today to which was good.

Iguanas for the most part go to the bathroom in water or they pick one place to go and that is the only place they go

Yah there weird like that

Our Savannah, Esham, always goes in his water dish. It's great... I've been trying to train Blazey to go in the corner on paper napkins, but it's not working.. I'm going to keep trying, and when we put something else in the bottom of her viv (we keep it lined with paper towels), hopefully she will just be 'used to' pooing on the paper. She never poops during her baths.. I wish she would..

My little one goes in the same spot everytime he poo's! He paces back and forth before he goes its too funny!! I never had to train him he has just always went in the same place even at the same time everyday. You can usually try to train them to go poo in their bath if you don't want them to poo in their viv
