Trying to Eat Weird Things

[MommiesBoyX]

ok so i have a Nirvana night shirt thats black and has the big yellow face on it. every time i have it on and i hold one of the 2 younger boys, they try and eat the yellow on the shirt. then my little silkback will try to eat anything yellow that comes in his path...

then ive noticed my little leatherback dexter is chewing on his branches in his cage...i thought at first he was rubbing his head from shed, but then i noticed he is actually chewing.

other than being little oddballs, they both seem fine.

should i be worried at this odd behavior? my 2 bigger boys dont try and eat the yellow of my shirt or chew on their branches.

I'm pretty sure it's normal, I think certain beardies are attracted to certain colours or objects and like to give them a nibble

My dragon runs away from yellow! It's so funny. He tries to eat anything green though. It's normal, its just 'Oooooo looks like food' *tries to eat* 'wait...what?!'. Mine sits and does it for ten minutes, runs off and then comes back for another go later, like it'll suddenly be food lol.

I have orange nail polish for Halloween...Norris is POSITIVE it must be food!!!

My beardie Frank is drawn to anything that is red. When I wear red shirts he just wants to hang out on me all day, and while he's out of his viv if he sees anything red he makes a b-line right for it!

on a kind of tangent, my goats preferred dead mulberry leaves to fresh ones. Go figure? it's all about crunch power!
