My silly lizard.

Look how he spends most of his time. :lol:

He's still being weird about eating anything that isn't alive. :?
But he looks healthy enough so I might just have a chat with my vet. As I have to panic every time any of my other pets don't want to eat it's really hard not to with Genghis.
 
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

He is really neat looking. :D
I don't know anything about lizards, but I would probably do the same as you and ask my vet about his eating habits. I hope all goes well. xx
 
Hmm so he's on mainly locusts/crickets and worms?
He looks healthy enough though! :love:

I love the way he is lying with his back legs dangling off the edge :lol: :lol: :love:

He has locust every week or every other week and wax worms. I stay away from crickets because he can't catch them and they can hide in all sorts of places. I had some in there for a month once... :lol:

I offer him veg every day. Spring greens are supposed to be the staple of his diet so I offer him some every day. He eats about a 3cm squared piece and that's it. Sometimes he'll eat carrot, watercress and a few fruits and I offer him whatever I have in really. He will only eat out of my hand and sometimes only if I wave it around. :roll:

I keep food in there all the time but it dries out very quickly. He's just weird.
 
Hmm funny lizard! :roll: :love:
Well I guess if he's happy and healthy thats all that matters. I suppose just make sure he is getting the nutrients he needs and is not at risk of MBD. But by the looks of things he has a very peachy life! :lol: :love: :love:

Spoiled. :roll:
He has some beardie nutrient powder stuff which I put on his food too.

I think you tell if they're a healthy weight by looking at the base of their tail and how chunky it is. He'll go for a day or two without moving. That's on the cooler side of the tank. Then the next day he'll dance around like a loony.
 
My lettuce was exactly the same! When I got him at 5 he'd been kept in a 2 ft viv and fed on mealworms, chips and any spiders he could catch :shock:

He still prefers to be hand fed cos he's a lazy so and so and is a bit partial to a rocket salad with rasberries :)
He also likes running about with the buns and posing for photos :lol:

Sir Hiss will peep over the top of his viv at me.....just peep.And I watched him yawn!! So sweet!!! Hes not mine but hes been with me for months!!
 
bunslave, how was he still alive on that diet? :shock:
Poor guy. But his face is amazing. I daren't let Genghis out with the buns, and as a rule he has to have a bath before he has free range so he can poo in the bath and not on my carpet. :evil: :lol:
