Moth

Postby ShiloRose » Thu Sep 22, 2011 8:28 pm

Ello! Its been a while since I've been on here, and well, I have a question. Is it alright for a B.T.S. to have a moth? It was weird, my B.T.S. Irian Jaya just ate a moth and I don't know if that's healthy for him... Concerns?

It shouldn't cause any harm; I wouldn't worry. My dog eats them all the time.

I saw him eat it and I was like "Uhhhh... Crap?" Lol. I'ma give him some cat food tomorrow.. Though, now I guess is a good time to bring this up. Is it okay for him to have Applesause? He loves it, and his original owner gave it to him... But he's over weight now and we recently got a bigger tank for him, which he grew even larger than I wanted to happen.. Haha.

Unsweetened applesauce is fine as a treat.
