Been slack again skipping a day. So we'll just have to catch up on two.
Lolly
Food: 10+ crickets both days. Bok Choy
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Lolly is cruising along as usual. She eats well and is happy to be in our company.
I was told in regards to feeding veggies etc to either cut them up into bite size pieces or leave them big and let the Beardies rip them up. I generally cut them all up, or rip them up if they are leafy. The other day I dropped in some dandelion greens just out of the yard and left them at their original size. I came in that afternoon to see Lolly trying to down about 3 of them in one go. These leaves were almost as long as she is! Regardless, she was going to eat them and worked her way down until they were gone. I was pleased to see that she is still going to the toilet regularly, because the risk you run with large food items is impaction. Think of it as a blockage in their digestive system. There are a few things that can cause this, including the size of their food and it can be a fatal condition. Needless to say I will be ripping up all the leaves I put in the salad bar from now on.
Booster
Food: Nothing (12/05), 10+ crickets (13/05), bok choy
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Booster has been a little bit off in the last couple of as he has been seriously shedding. For a while there he looked like he was wearing an ill fitting suit. Today he looked to have got rid of most of the excess skin and was back in fine form with his eating. He is looking great. His colour is improved and his skin is not looking nearly as dull. Good to see him back in form!
