Feeding time at the Zoo!

Because we have been hand feeding the lizards, they now associate a hand coming into the tank with food, and like to nibble on fingers! So to mix up their meal time routine, we fed them out of the terrarium...

    

Jack was so desperate to get to the meal worms he literally climbed out of the terrarium...



Where are you going to go now Jack??

 





Ivy, checking out dinner..."hmm, I think I want the one on the left..."



Jackzilla ready to attack!



Dinner time!

Every afternoon Aaron comes home from work and feeds the babies. Ivy's favourite foods appears to be crickets, and Jack prefers cockroaches.  The insects are coated in multi-vitamin calcium powder to ensure Jack and Ivy are receiving adequate nutrition.

Tonight Jack was being very greedy, and ate one of Ivy's cockroaches - he is definitely a boy.

The following pics are of Ivy polishing off a cricket.

Yum! Crunchy crickets:

Down the hatch!

All gone!

Feeding time

This was one of Ivy's first feeding adventures in her new home. Jack and Ivy love live crickets and cockroaches (unfortunately). As you can see, Ivy is hunting down her prey in a very natural-looking environment (a jumper sleeve).

If you are observant, you will note that in the following picture Ivy's mouth is slightly open -

indicating that she has caught her dinner and is half-way through her meal! Well done Ivy! ;)
