"chewing on the rocks in the enclosure"

Postby dustypaws » Fri Aug 28, 2015 6:05 pm

Recently my BTS has begun to "chew" on the side of the rocks I have stacked in his enclosure. His diet includes Dubia Roaches, greens, and some fruits which I offer every weekend. He is about 10 years old.(The avitar pic is old) Anyone else have any similar experience with their BTS? Also how many roaches is appropriate to feed him at once? (I breed the roaches). Thanks.

I took all of his rocks out and cleaned them with a brush and hot water, so far he hasn't chewed on them anymore. Thanks!
