when it's feeding time, does your skink....

sprint to it's food immediately and chow down?

sit around for a minute or two until he smells food and waddles over there soon after?

not show interest until you're gone? you leave him with it and he will eat it eventually.

not notice the food? you have to drag it over to it's food and put their face in it.

That's weird. Sprout always cleans his plate and asks for seconds. I think Baylee eats well too. What about Kaper and the others? Does Andrew have them now? I can't keep them straight! :doh:


Kaper is overall my BEST eater, followed by Benson and Checkers and then Squirt. Kaper is the one that I know will eat usually no matter what the food is...even if it's something the others don't seem too thrilled about.

Spike and Baylee are normally tied for my best eaters but since Spike has started to pick at his food (I think he's starting to cool himself down) Baylee is my best. He loves everything. I can even give him a whole plate of veggies and he'll go to town.

Sometimes I wonder about Phoebe's weight, but I don't think she's the largest of the babies from last year. She doesn't eat everyday though, but pretty much everyone else does (Cole has his moments).

Wow... they eat everyday?

Yep, I offer food everyday. Phoebe has days she won't and Cole does too or maybe they just eat a couple of bites. I just give their food to the others.

Well i usually have to unburrow Element and in the process i'll put him by the food dish. When hes out sometimes he'll waddle over to it and other times he won't pay attention to it but will later eat it.
