Man Ray is addicted to Hornworms. (Sounds like he's not alone--maybe we should start a Hornworms Anonymous group for our beardies!!) He's also a recovering Mealworm Addict, which is why he doesn't get anymore... Ever... EVER. He once went on a month-long strike for the things. Yuck! He also loves, loves, loves green beans... Who knows why, really, but he'll pick them out of his salad before he starts on anything else. Oh, and he seems to really enjoy collard greens. He'll usually turn his nose up at a salad that doesn't have collards in it.
And nectarines... I got the crazy idea last month to give him a few bits of nectarine. I must've felt bad since the dogs were eating almost as much as I was, but Man Ray wasn't getting any... And he LOVED it. He's gotten nectarine only a few times since, and still just snaps it up the moment it hits the floor. He also enjoys the occasional half of a good green grape. Who can blame him?
All three of them go nuts on the rare occasion I let them "have at" some of the box turtle's nightcrawlers! The girls seem to enjoy dandelion flowers (though I haven't been able to get Man Ray to try them)... And they all love butternut squash (lightly boiled or steamed to soften it), but it has to be chopped on the small side or they won't be able to get a grip and they'll just give up... Poor guys.
Weirdly enough, none of my beardies like Opuntia cactus. Man Ray picks around it, and I've seen Buttercup spit it out with some special kind of disgust. Weird! The tortoise goes nuts for the stuff! lol! And Man Ray doesn't like silkworms... Don't know why, but he'd sooner let them use him as a jungle gym than eat them. He's not big on the butterworms, either. Weird little dragon.
