Haha! He is spoiled! He's had me a bit concerned for quite some time now. We purchased him back in December and although he's a bit young, he went thru a semi-brumation and was being lazy, not eating. Then after that, his appetetite never was what it should have been. Correct set-up, clean fecals, no weight loss... I'd offer food, he'd refuse. He's been offered supers, roaches, hornworms, silkworms & butters. I tried Acidophiliz hoping to stimulate his appetite but that didn't work. I'd let him go a few days, then finally break down and feed him chicken/squash by hand. He loved that. Once in a great while, he'd eat one or two but that's it. Now, since dropping them on his blankie (which normally is pulled out each morning) he's chowing anywhere from 7-12 supers in a sitting. Such a little bratt! All this time...
I keep telling him that he'd NEVER survive out in the wild because there are no 'blankies' to eat off of.
We only have one other dragon that's 'wierd' about eating. That would be our 8 year old Max. We say he has developed 'dragonzheimers'. He eats his salad and his token 2-3 feeders daily. If he goes for a feeder, and misses or drops it, he will still think he's caught it and chew, chew, chew away as if he really has one in his mouth. Offer him another, and he turns his head as if to say 'No thank you... I already ate and it didn't really taste that good. I couldn't possibly eat another!'. We try to make sure he doesn't miss or drop them or he'll think he's already eaten and refuse more. He just started doing this the past few months.
How do they ever make it in the wild where food hasn't been strategically placed on blankies, rocks or next to feeding dishes? LOL!
