Which food item is the funniest to watch your bluey eat?

Postby aggiegirl » Tue Jun 05, 2007 5:19 am

I know this topic has probably been done before but there are lots of us who are relatively new to blueys! My kids and I never tire of watching him eat---although I may have to cut down on portion size. :oops:
LIVE PREY: roaches---he looks like a mini-T.rex stalking them down; snails---it never ceases to amaze me how he just cracks open that hard shell and then wipes the residual shell off his mouth and onto the ground
FRUIT/VEGGIE: grapes---they roll and he chases them; he looks like he is chewing gum as he takes the first few bites

I personally wish I'd seen Lilly try her first few bites of beetroot mixed with dog food this morning. Apparently her nose was bright crimson :D

Hehe! When I give Pele' grapes, his nose is always purple! I have these red berries (in the blackberry family) that turn his red. Maybe he really is a she! :chin:

snails can be amusing,especially when they go a big one and do the death shakes ect trying to crack them open,also crickets,especially young bluies,mine go mental chasing the crickets down,becareful if u have multible bluies together though as they get so excited they nip at each other,also my stumpies,both young and adult love to chase down a cricket or 2,amazing the pace and skill they have for a cumbersome looking lizard,strangest goes to a young wild blotch,i was walking in a national park and noticed a white thing moving up ahead on the side of the track,apon closer inspection found it was a yearling blotched bluey shaking a dried up dogs turd,aroun 3 inches long,lol,and it eventually broke it up and ended up eating it all,before wandering off into the scrub

Anything Quigly decides he needs to death roll or shake to kill before swallowing, which can include super worms, crickets, Larger leaves of Kale, a bit of grape, you know all the dangerous stuff.
It's also funny watching him eat "Quigly Goo" (catfood and various chopped veggies) He always ends up with some on the top of his head.

I'd say silkworms and babies. I love the violent shaking. :lol:

Note: Remember it's a good idea to NOT feed live food until you separate babies because once they get a taste for worms, arms and tails begin to look awful familiar!

eggs

Raw or boiled? If boiled, peeled or unpeeled?

Yes on the crickets! Since I had some for my new gecko, I gave him two. Pele' hasn't ever had anything that jumped and they about blew his mind! June bugs are funny too as they fly around or get stranded in his water dish. I love watching him enter "hunter mode!" Now that he doesn't mind being outside, he just sits there instead of trying to hide. "Hunting" gives him a chance to get some exercise and work those muscles. Consider it "environmental enrichment for blueys!"

Pinkie Rats. Easily Pinkie Rats!!! I like to tease them like a dog and get them jumping up for them, then throwing the pinkie under the heat light and watching them run like mad to devour them - the shaking is great - and it's funny to see just how fast they can get them down into their bellies!

Snails are good coz he wont be beaten no matter how big they are, he likes to smash them all first to stop any exit stage left manouvers :lol: and he lets a coulpe of the morio worms escape just far enough to go nose diving for, live food always makes his eyes pop out :shock:

I think for me the funniest had to be feeding Mamma a hissing cockroach.

Mamma never moves fast, if her food is moving she usually doesn't bother unless it is on a plate and she knows it will eventually wander back by her mouth. Feeding her a hisser though, she went nuts! She tore after that thing like lightening and when she bit into it, it literally exploded all over the tank. :hurl: She was quite satisfied with her task and spent the next 3 hours sleeping. :lazy:
