Well I didn't see this coming, Stumpy.

Yes, I know that overeating is not allowed and how important it is for health, so I always worry about not allowing it. But I have never seen any clear advice on how to understand that there is too much food. Usually I try to stop at the moment when Foxy thinks a little before grabbing another bug. And I know that after that he could eat about 1/3 more. How do you usually understand that the portion you give is enough?

You can start a different thread so this subject doesn't derail Mr. Stumpy's welcome home happy thread.

In the first photo he looks at the salad as if he is looking for roaches under it.

Thanks for correcting me, sometimes in the heat of conversation I can forget myself and start going off-topic.

Np, I was the one that brought it up. And this is still a happy Stumpy thread.

Lol, we all have the habit of giving them the equivalent of a tree to graze on.

He ate about that much yesterday. If he is willing to eat them I'm gonna offer. I don't want him trying to wait me out for bugs lol.

Pictures of Stumpy's revamped home and lights. He seems absolutely thrilled. He ate most of his salad again today. Explored all over and then settled up top looking out the window.

Oh we have noticed he has a tendency to set on his Stump when he eats. So his middle/nickname is tripod

He's so cute, he seems to have settled in with no awkward transition at all.

He is still jumpy at bed time when we try to tuck him in but otherwise he checks us out right back when we check him out lol. The lil chit tried to bite me, and hissed and flared and puffed the full show when I tried to put him in bed tonight.
He is spicy for sure.

Isn't bed time in his enclosure ?

Oh, what a cute little dragon he is!
He has learned to use his tail cleverly, it seems he has turned its size into an advantage!
I also like to see that his little tail is always up, which shows how happy he is and how interested and good he is in his new home.

Yes, we aren't getting him out to snuggle at bedtime yet ( he's even faster than Zsa Zsa was, and she was lightning fast) but all of our beardies get a soft bed It's pretty rare that they get back out once they realize it's comfy and

I mentioned that very thing to Christina yesterday. Unless he is just stretched out in full relax mode it's curled up.
The pictures I posted don't even do justice to him using it for balance. I've seen him sit his full weight on it and just set there looking around. I'll try to get better pictures.

I realized what he reminds me of! A little cute kangaroo!

He looks so adorable! Tripod is the absolute best middle/nickname for him! I can tell he's going to have a great life!!!
