What do reptiles and gardening have in common? They both like fresh food!
Not one to pass a great opportunity to grow fresh veg, and what better excuse than to feed our new house quest. I use the term guest loosely because Bearded Dragons can live to a ripe old age of 12 with careful care.
So drum roll ... meet Thor (lets hope he is a he and not a she!)
He settled in well on Sunday and he likes his new home, must seem huge to him a 4 ft cage. I wonder if they have a concept of space? Anyway he eats hoppers, yes live ones and salad. I researched their diet today (and he's not even my pet) but keen to make sure he gets all his nutrients I printed off a two page diet sheet. I was pleased to see it includes a lot of things I can grow in the garden veg patch at Eight-by-Six and we can get to try some new fruits too from the supermarket (treats to Thor). So its quite an exiting time in our household to be entering into the world of reptiles.
