Licking everywhere

Postby DrakeLineous12 » Sun Mar 24, 2013 5:02 pm

I assume its normal for a bluey to lick everywhere? He does it whenever I let him out to roam, and occasionally he'll try to eat the carpeting but then fail and just slither away. Is this safe or should I try to stop it?

Yes, it's totally normal. Like a snake, they taste with their tongues.
