Am I setting Henry up with bad habits?

[Latlaw]

The last 3 feedings we have been placing Henry's worms in front of his warm hide one by one as he gobbles them up. It' s great because he eats quickly and a lot this way. But now I'm wondering if it's such a good idea. Could he stop eating from his worm bowl if I do this too frequently. Is there any harm in this?

You might be making him lazy lol

I know! My kids love it though because they can watch his head shoot out from his hide and chomp the worms down. I suppose there is no harm and he eats well. It's making a mess of the carpet from the calcium dust though. I'm thinking he needs some sort of place mat or dish. LOL!

I used to always drop worms infront of my first 2 to make sure they were eating and now they refuse to eat from a bowl :dunce2:

But i did the same with Peppa and the 2 babies for the first month and they eat from a bowl fine :main_thumbsup:

Its fun to watch them eat but i would suggest to maybe not do it every day incase he gets lazy and starts to enjoy being pampered too much
