crackerjack stole some yogurt....

[taniya91]

i was watching tv eating yogurt and crackerjack was chilling on my lap....i got into the show and did one of those -rest the food on your lap and forget there is an animal there too things- ive done it with my cat and icecream before and lost my icecream...anyways my yogurt cup started moving i looked down and crackerjack is trying to pick all the fruit chunks out of it he got a nice mouth full of yogurt...now seeing a skink with a beard of yogurt was quite amusing and he wasnt happy about the bath he then got....

.... but then my worry kicks in.... yogurts not going to hurt him will it????????? please say no

pretty sure it will be okay. he will have a tummy ache and it will come out.

but you dont want to feed your bluey diary products. they cant digest milk like most humans can.

Coomassie has gotten into more people food than I care to admit to. He once ran off with half an english muffin. I got it away from him before he got more than a bite but the fact is BTS are scavengers. I'm sure wild ones have eaten far worse. I wouldn't make a habit of it but there is probably no need to worry.

I've heard of people giving small amount of yogurt to BTS to help with stomach issues due to illness or medication! It's nothing to worry about, it will not harm him. Might get some weird poo out of him but I wouldn't panic

[taniya91]

well thats a relief ...he is acting like his normal self so i dont think he is having any tummy problems... guess we will find out when he poops if it looks funny ...he rather enjoyed himself and looked proud for managing to steal my yogurt but i got him back with the bath
next time i wont eat yogurt and let crackerjack sit on my lap though...lesson learned

I can't help but laugh at the mental image of a skink running off with an english muffin in it's mouth, LOL!! So cute!

@ Taniya... I have heard of skinks getting into worse things. In the wild they'll happily snack on dead, rotting wallaby and saltbush, neither are things you'd want to offer in captivity, I'm sure. While it's something you should definately avoid, accidents happen, especially if you have food near your bluies. That's why I wait till after I've eaten to let Misha out. It's not too bad if she ate my veggies, but I can't imagine her touching something processed!

But your post gives me the nice idea to feed her berries on my lap while I watch Netflix with her... sounds like a great time.

one of mine licked my ice cream bowl semi clean before :/ tutt tut. sneaky skinky

Lactose sugar in milk would have been converted into lactic acid in yogurt, accounting for the sour taste. Otherwise there should have been nothing too exotic for a reptile to be eating, i think.

I've just fallen about with laughter

my blueys try to eat the keys on my wireless keyboard :/ might be why the space button is harder to press now days. Also cant wear nail polish, they mistake my fingies for grapes :/
or there is this video of one of my babies. he is obsessed with the rubber lining of the carpet. cant go past it without spending at least half hour trying to munch on it

Yeah, they eat really silly things. I have photos of the marshmellow going down her gullet and her trying to eat my mouse, so I have proof
