Stagger eats mushrooms and poop.

[Chewbecca]

YUM.
I decided to cut up a mushroom for Stagger today.
Last time I tried mushroom on him, he didn't much care for it, so I tried a different approach today and cut the pieces REALLY small, and he ate it a little better.

"Oooh, what's this?"

Then he stops and looks up to pose for the camera (right.).

Then it's back to nomming away at the mushrooms:

He then eyes his groovy jacuzzi.

He decides it's time for a swim and drink break.

And of COURSE who wouldn't want to lay in their food dish after a swim???

He decided that he was going to try and hide from me. But I wasn't having any of that.

No hiding today, Mister Stagger Lee:

I guess he remembered that he had some mushrooms to eat.

Oh! But wait!!! What is THAT over on the edge of his enclosure?????
Is that poo??
Yeah. Sometimes Stagger eats his own poop. I know it's normal, but the things he turns down just so he can eat his own poop. I could put a strawberry down in front of him, and he could be munching away, but he'll spot poo somewhere and decide, "Wait, what the heck am I thinking???!!! Why would I want to eat this fat strawberry when there is a tasty turd over there beckoning me???!!!"

He's weird about eating his poo, too.
If I watch him, he'll stop eating it and go burrow.
It's like he's a shameful poop eater.

oh well. Keeps his cage cleaner! hahahaha.

Thank you!
You'll LOVE your RFs.
Granted, Stagger is my first, but he's fully of personality. And not to mention he's ADORABLE beyond words.

He's only 7 months old, so he's going to be around for a while.
He's a pig, too.

Aw. My guys were trying to find anything and everything outside today that they could eat. I'm hoping they didn't get into anything they weren't supposed to. I'm not sure what kind of grass or weeds are out there. They seem fine though, I could only stop so much. I gave up when one is on one side of the area and the other is on the other side.

Ed the Sulcata seems to prefer nonfood items. :main_rolleyes: She'll chase down rocks, pennies, cigarette butts, etc. and it's all I can do to drag her away. Once she started chewing on a smashed Diet Coke can she found outside.
