I put spring mix greens in feeding dish and practically put his face against a piece of lettuce and he turned around and went back to eating the mulch! Is this normal? Is this okay?? The BRAND is T-REX CYPRESS BED.
Id remove it... its not good for him to keep eating it.. may pass thru.. but could cause some problems.. and not nutritional..
dirt soil or just put a towel down for now...
Thanks all. Actually he stopped shortly after I posted (I think he's just messing with me - he did the same thing when I posted about his sleeping for 24 hours). I will remove the mulch - it is new. He's used to Coco Coir and Repti-bark (fir). The CHE is not colored, so maybe he thinks the red light effect is normal? I've used it for about 4 weeks. Yes he's used to eating greens - gets them every day. I do sprinkle "Vita-Max" on his food every day, which I was led to believe contained everything my little guy needed . . . but lo and behold I just read the ingredients and all it contains are vitamins and amino acids. And, of course, an instruction to purchase another RepPro product to provide necessary calcium and minerals! Arrgghh - I think pet store employees are people who can't get employment at the DMV - they're EVIL!! So I will make another trip to get a calcium supplement. emysemys - Looks like you win!!
